https://github.com/jonathanslenders/python-prompt-toolkit is really good. Some of the things it does would fit well in bpython:

  • Reporting syntax error instead of running code if buffer has syntax error
  • Better highlighting in reverse incremental search
  • proper double-width character treatment

Some things would be bigger changes:

  • real multiline editing
  • code completion from Jedi
  • always-on statusbar like cli.py

Finally, maybe there should be a bpython frontend in python-prompt-toolkit. Undo and our unique history management would be big differences, as would our more-similar-to-vanilla-python approach. I'm not sure if it's worth it if we don't have much to add - but that code is so nice. Building bpython in it is really tempting.

This isn't actionable and is just noise to have on the issue tracker. #321is similar on the syntax error front, proper double-width character treatment is in #414, and we have several related issues for multiline editing (#22 #327 #328). I'm closing this, but am open to all the ideas in it individually.
