**Caveats:** As ``bpython`` makes use of the ncurses library of \*nix-family operating systems,

However, you may still use bpython on Windows using a workaround. In brief, you should install

$ pip install bpython windows-curses

Then you should invoke a program called ``bpython-curses.exe`` instead of ``bpython.exe`` to use bpython:
