bpython-config - user configuration file for bpython
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/config
The configuration file contains various options controlling the behaviour of bpython.
This refers to the [general] section in your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/config file.
Display the arg spec (list of arguments) for callables, when possible (default: True).
Display the autocomplete list as you type (default: True). When this is off, you can hit tab to see the suggestions.
There are four modes for autocomplete: none, 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). None disables autocompletion.
New in version 0.12.
Whether opening character of the pairs (), [], "", and '' should be auto-closed (default: False).
New in version 0.23.
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.
Whether magic methods should be auto completed (default: True).
Number of blank lines required before next line will be dedented (default: 1). If set to 0, automatic dedenting never occurs.
Editor for externally editing the current line, session, or config file.
New in version 0.13.
Whether to flush all output to stdout on exit (default: True).
Only relevant to bpython-curses and bpython-urwid.
Whether the source code of an object should be syntax highlighted (default: True).
Whether to store duplicate entries in the history (default: True).
History file (default: ~/.pythonhist).
Number of lines to store in history (set to 0 to disable) (default: 100).
The time between keypresses before pastemode is deactivated in bpython-curses (default: 0.02).
Whether pasting to a pastebin needs to be confirmed before sending the data (default: True).
Time duration after which a paste should expire. Valid values are 1day, 1week and 1month (default: 1week).
New in version 0.14.
The name of a helper executable that should perform pastebin upload on bpython's behalf. If set, this overrides pastebin_url. 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 requests 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": "Gist from bpython",
"public": gist_public,
"files": {
"sample": {
"content": s
},
},
}
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"X-Github-Username": "YOUR_USERNAME",
"Authorization": "token YOUR_TOKEN",
}
try:
res = requests.post(gist_url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)
res.raise_for_status()
json_res = json.loads(res.read())
return json_res["html_url"]
except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as err:
return err if __name__ == "__main__":
s = sys.stdin.read()
print(do_gist_json(s))
New in version 0.12.
The pastebin url to post to (without a trailing slash). This pastebin has to be a pastebin which provides a similar interface to bpaste.net's JSON interface (default: https://bpaste.net).
Whether to append .py to the filename while saving the input to a file.
New in version 0.13.
Time duration an undo must be predicted to take before prompting to undo multiple lines at once. Use -1 to never prompt, or 0 to always prompt. (default: 1.0)
New in version 0.14.
Syntax highlighting as you type (default: True).
Soft tab size (default 4, see PEP-8).
Whether to use Unicode characters to draw boxes (default: True).
New in version 0.14.
A :-seperated list of patterns to skip when processing modules for import completion.
New in version 0.21.
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:
Default: C-h
Delete character in front of the cursor.
New in version 0.14.
Default: C-a
Move to the beginning of the line.
New in version 0.14.
Default: C-u
Clears to the beginning of the line.
Default: C-l
Clears the screen to the top.
Default: C-w
Clear the word the cursor is currently on.
