bpython VS ptpython

Yeah, also it's worth to mention bpython. Source: over 1 year ago

Yeah, mostly I lack time to catch up with Jonathan Slenders works, and have stronger backward compatibility requirements. b=But ptpython and pyipython are both great. I should also look into Rich and Textual https://bpython-interpreter.org/ is also another alternative python shell, and of course https://xon.sh. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

Python comes with IDLE as /usr/bin/idle but it doesn't have a corresponding .desktop file that would let it appear in the application menu. Otherwise, /usr/bin/python has an interactive mode and bpython is a wrapper around that interactive mode that has like syntax highlighting, indenting, undo, etc. Source: about 2 years ago

Someone posted bpython which I'm pretty ecstatic about but always good to know options. Source: over 2 years ago

If you like using the REPL, for Python I recommend you try https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/ptpython. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

REPL??? Do you have a very-easy-to-use way of running and testing your code? From vim-slime to nvim sniprun to autocommands with the built in terminal, to an external repl like ptpython (for python obviously). iron.nvim and conjure are two other neovim repl plugins. There are many ways of running the code that you're working on, and having something that makes this really easy for you is pretty essential.... Source: 12 months ago

I use ptpython for my python repl https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/ptpython. I find it very convenient because it has a vim mode, and many vim similarities. Source: about 1 year ago

A library like ptpython should be what you're looking for, however this probably isn't an option for an exam setting. Source: about 1 year ago

Create a repl to the standard that ptpython sets for python (both croissant and ilua leave a lot to be desired). Source: about 1 year ago
