NAME

       bpython-config - user configuration file for bpython

SYNOPSIS

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/config

DESCRIPTION

       The configuration file contains various options controlling the behaviour of bpython.

GENERAL

       This refers to the [general] section in your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/config file.

   arg_spec
       Display the arg spec (list of arguments) for callables, when possible (default: True).

   auto_display_list
       Display  the autocomplete list as you type (default: True).  When this is off, you can hit
       tab to see the suggestions.

   autocomplete_mode
       There are three modes for autocomplete. simple,  substring,  and  fuzzy.   Simple  matches
       methods  with  a  common  prefix, substring matches methods with a common subsequence, and
       fuzzy matches methods with common characters (default: simple).

       As of version 0.14 this option has no effect, but is reserved for later use.

       New in version 0.12.

   color_scheme
       See themes for more information.

       Color schemes should be put in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/. For example, to  use  the  theme
       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/foo.theme set color_scheme = foo

       Leave blank or set to "default" to use the default (builtin) theme.

   complete_magic_methods
       Whether magic methods should be auto completed (default: True).

   dedent_after
       Number  of blank lines required before next line will be dedented (default: 1).  If set to
       0, automatic dedenting never occurs.

   editor
       Editor for externally editing the current line, session, or config file.

       New in version 0.13.

   flush_output
       Whether to flush all output to stdout on exit (default: True).

       Only relevant to bpython-curses and bpython-urwid.

   highlight_show_source
       Whether the source code of an object should be syntax highlighted (default: True).

   hist_duplicates
       Whether to store duplicate entries in the history (default: True).

   hist_file
       History file (default: ~/.pythonhist).

   hist_length
       Number of lines to store in history (set to 0 to disable) (default: 100).

   paste_time
       The time between keypresses before pastemode is deactivated  in  bpython-curses  (default:
       0.02).

   pastebin_confirm
       Whether  pasting  to  a  pastebin  needs to be confirmed before sending the data (default:
       True).

   pastebin_expiry
       Time duration after which a paste should expire. Valid values are 1day, 1week  and  1month
       (default: 1week).

       New in version 0.14.

   pastebin_helper
       The  name  of a helper executable that should perform pastebin upload on bpython's behalf.
       If set, this overrides pastebin_url. It also overrides pastebin_show_url, as the helper is
       expected  to return the full URL to the pastebin as the first word of its output. The data
       is supplied to the helper via STDIN.

       An example helper program is pastebinit, available for most systems. The following  helper
       program can be used to create gists:

          #!/usr/bin/env python

          import sys
          import urllib2
          import json

          def do_gist_json(s):
              """ Use json to post to github. """
              gist_public = False
              gist_url = 'https://api.github.com/gists'

              data = {'description': None,
                      'public': None,
                      'files' : {
                          'sample': { 'content': None }
                      }}
              data['description'] = 'Gist from BPython'
              data['public'] = gist_public
              data['files']['sample']['content'] = s

              req = urllib2.Request(gist_url, json.dumps(data), {'Content-Type': 'application/json'})
              try:
                  res = urllib2.urlopen(req)
              except HTTPError, e:
                  return e

              try:
                  json_res = json.loads(res.read())
                  return json_res['html_url']
              except HTTPError, e:
                  return e

          if __name__ == "__main__":
            s = sys.stdin.read()
            print do_gist_json(s)

       New in version 0.12.

       The url under which a paste can be removed. $removal_id will be replaced by the removal ID
       of the paste (default: https://bpaste.net/remova/$removal_id/).

       New in version 0.14.

   pastebin_url
       The pastebin url to post to (without a trailing slash). This pastebin has to be a pastebin
       which  uses  provides  a  similar  interface  to  bpaste.net's  JSON  interface  (default:
       https://bpaste.net/json/new).

   save_append_py
       Whether to append .py to the filename while saving the input to a file.
