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. 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). New in version 0.12. syntax Syntax highlighting as you type (default: True). arg_spec Display the arg spec (list of arguments) for callables, when possible (default: True). hist_file History file (default: ~/.pythonhist). paste_time The time between lines before pastemode is activated in seconds (default: 0.02). hist_length Number of lines to store in history (set to 0 to disable) (default: 100) tab_length Soft tab size (default 4, see pep-8) pastebin_url The pastebin url to post to (without a trailing slash). This pastebin has to be a pastebin which uses LodgeIt. Examples are: http://paste.pocoo.org/xmlrpc/ and http://bpaste.net/xmlrpc/ (default: http://bpaste.net/xmlrpc/) pastebin_private If the pastebin supports a private option to make a random paste id, use it. Default: True). New in version 0.12. pastebin_show_url The url under which the new paste can be reached. $paste_id will be replaced by the ID of the new paste. Examples are: http://bpaste.net/show/$paste_id/ and http://paste.pocoo.org/show/$paste_id/ (default: http://bpaste.net/show/$paste_id/) 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. color_scheme See themes for more information. Color schemes should be put in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/ e.g to use the theme $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/foo.theme set color_scheme = foo If you set the colorscheme to foo this will be translated to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/foo.theme so be sure to put the file in that directory. Leave blank or set to "default" to use the default (builtin) theme. flush_output Whether to flush all output to stdout on exit (default: True).
KEYBOARD
This section refers to the [keyboard] section in your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/config. You can set various keyboard shortcuts to be used by bpython. However, we have yet to map all keys to their respective control codes. If you configure a key combination which is not yet supported by bpython it will raise an exception telling you the key does not exist in bpython.keys. Valid keys are: • Control + any alphanumeric character (C-a through A-z, also a few others). • Any function key ranging from F1 to F12. pastebin Default: <F8> last_output Default: F9 Shows the last output in the systems $PAGER. save Default: C-s Saves the current session to a file (prompts for filename) undo Default: C-r Rewinds the last action. up_one_line Default: C-p Move the cursor up, by one line. down_one_line Default: C-n Move the cursor down, by one line. cut_to_buffer Default: C-k Cuts the current line to the buffer. search Default: C-o Search up for any lines containing what is on the current line. yank_from_buffer Default: C-y Pastes the current line from the buffer (the one you previously cutted) clear_word Default: C-w Clear the word the cursor is currently on. clear_line Default: C-u Clears to the beginning of the line. clear_screen Default: C-l Clears the screen to the top. show_source Default: F2 Shows the source of the currently being completed (python) function. exit Default: C-d Exits bpython (use on empty line)
CLI
This refers to the [cli] section in your config file. suggestion_width Default: 0.8 The width of the suggestion window in percent of the terminal width. New in version 0.9.8. trim_prompts Default: False Trims lines starting with '>>> ' when set to True.
GTK
This refers to the [gtk] section in your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/config file. font Default: Monospace 10 The font to be used by the GTK version.
