3950.13
396----
397
398There are a few new features, a bunch of bugfixes, and a new frontend
399for bpython in this release.
400
401* Dictionary key completion, thanks to Maja Frydrychowicz (#226).
402  To use normal completion and ignore these key completions, type a space.
403* Edit current line in external editor: ctrl-x (#161)
404
405Fixes:
406
407* Python 2.5 compatibility, thanks to Michael Schuller (#279). Python 2.5
408  is not officially supported, but after few changes Michael introduced, he
409  says it's working fine.
410* FakeStream has flush(), so works correctly with
411  django.core.email.backends.console thanks to Marc Sibson (#259)
412* FakeStdin has fileno() (#232)
413* Changes to sys.ps1 and sys.ps2 are respected thanks to Michael Schulle (#267)
414* atexit registered functions run on exit (#258)
415* fixed an error on exit code when running a script with bpython script.py (#260)
416* setup.py extras are used to define dependencies for urwid and
417  curtsies frontends
418
419There's a new frontend for bpython: bpython-curtsies. Curtsies is a terminal
420wrapper written to making native scrolling work in bpython. (#56, #245)
421Try bpython-curtsies for the bpython experience with a vanilla python
422layout. (demo:
423http://ballingt.com/assets/bpython-curtsies-scroll-demo-large.gif)
424
425This curtsies frontend addresses some issues unfixed in bpython-cli, and has
426a few extra features:
427
428* Editing full interpreter history in external editor with F7, which is rerun
429  as in rewind
430* A new interpreter is used for rewind, unless bpython-curtsies was started
431  with custom locals or in interactive mode (#71)
432* Ctrl-c behaves more like vanilla python (#177)
433* Completion still works if cursor at the end of the line (#147)
434* Movement keys meta-b, meta-f, and meta-backspace, ctrl-left and ctrl-right
435  are all honored (#246, #201)
436* Non-ascii characters work in the file save prompt (#236)
437* New --type / -t option to run the contents of a file as though they were
438  typed into the bpython-curtsies prompt
439
440A few things about bpython-curtsies are worse than regular bpython:
441
442* Bad things can happen when using several threads (#265)
443* output prints slowly (#262)
444* bpython-curtsies can't be backgrounded and resumed correctly (via ctrl-z,
445  fg) (#274)
446
447There are two new options in the new [curtsies] section of the bpython config
448
449* list_above: whether completion window can cover text above the current line;
450  defaults to True
451* fill_terminal: whether bpython-curtsies should be fullscreen (like bpython);
452  defaults to False
453
4540.12
455----
456
457We want to give special thanks to the Hacker School project-
458(https://www.hackerschool.com/) for choosing bpython as their pet hacking
459project. In special we would like to thank the following people for contributing
460their code to bpython:
461
462- Martha Girdler
463- Allison Kaptur
464- Ingrid Cheung
465
466We'd also like to thank Eike Hein for contributing his pastebin code which now
467makes it possible to paste using a 3rd party program unlocking a whole slew of
468pastebins for bpython users.
469
470* Added a new pastebin_helper config option to name an executable that should
471  perform pastebin upload on bpython's behalf. If set, this overrides
472  pastebin_url. Data is supplied to the helper via STDIN, and it is expected
473  to return a pastebin URL as the first word of its output.
474* Fixed a bug causing pastebin upload to fail after a previous attempt was
475  unsuccessful. A duplicate pastebin error would be displayed in this case,
476  despite the original upload having failed.
477* Added more key shortcuts to bpython.urwid
478* Smarter dedenting after certain expressions
479* #74 fixed broken completion when auto_display_list was disabled
480
481We also have done numerous cleanup actions including building the man pages from
482our documentation. Including the documentation in the source directory. Some
483minor changes to the README to have EOL 79 and changes to urwid to work better
484without twisted installed.
485
486* Fix ungetch issues with Python 3.3. See issues #230, #231.
487
4880.11
489----
490
491A bugfix/cleanup release .The fixed bugs are:
492
493* #204: "import math" not autocompleting on python 3.2
494
495Otherwise lots of small additions to the to be replacement for our ncurses
496frontend, the urwid frontend.
497
498I'd like to specifically thank Amjith Ramanujam for his work on history search
499which was further implemented and is in working order right now.
500
5010.10.1
502------
503
504A bugfix release. The fixed bugs are:
505
506* #197: find_modules crashes on non-readable directories
507* #198: Source tarball lacks .po files
508
5090.10
510----
511As a highlight of the release, Michele Orrù added i18n support to bpython.
512
513Some issues have been resolved as well:
514
515* Config files are now located according to the XDG Base Directory
516  Specification. The support for the old bpythonrc files has been
517  dropped and ~/.bpython.ini as config file location is no longer supported.
518  See issue #91.
519* Fixed some issues with tuple unpacking in argspec. See issues #133 and #138.
520* Fixed a crash with non-ascii filenames in import completion. See issue #139.
521* Fixed a crash caused by inspect.findsource() raising an IndexError
522  which happens in some situations. See issue #94.
523* Non-ascii input should work now under Python 3.
524* Issue #165: C-a and C-e do the right thing now in urwid.
525* The short command-line option "-c config" was dropped as it conflicts with
526  vanilla Python's "-c command" option. See issue #186.
527
5280.9.7.1
529-------
530
531A bugfix release. The fixed bugs are:
532
533* #128: bpython-gtk is broken
534* #134: crash when using pastebin and no active internet connection
535
5360.9.7
537-----
538
539Well guys. It's been some time since the latest release, six months have passed
540We have added a whole slew of new features, and closed a number of bugs as well.
541
542We also have a new frontend for bpython. Marien Zwart contributed a urwid
543frontend as an alternative for the curses frontend. Be aware that there still
544is a lot to fix for this urwid frontend (a lot of the keyboard shortcuts do not
545yet work for example) but please give it a good spin. Urwid also optionally
546integrates with a Twisted reactor and through that with things like the GTK
547event loop.
548
549At the same time we have done a lot of work on the GTK frontend. The GTK
550frontend is now 'usable'. Please give that a spin as well by running bpython-gtk
551on you system.
552
553We also welcome a new contributor in the name of Michele Orrù who we hope will
554help us fix even more bugs and improve functionality.
555
556As always, please submit any bugs you might find to our bugtracker.
557
558* Pastebin confirmation added; we were getting a lot of people accidentally
559  pastebinning sensitive information so I think this is a good idea.
560* Don't read PYTHONSTARTUP when executed with -i.
561* BPDB was merged in. BPDB is an extension to PDB which allows you to press B
562  in a PDB session which will let you be dropped into a bpython sessions with
563  the current PDB locals(). For usage, see the documentation.
564* The clear word shortcut (default: C-w) now deletes to the buffer.
565* More tests have been added to bpython.
566* The pastebin now checks for a previous paste (during the session) with the
567  exact same content to guard against twitchy fingers pastebinning multiple
568  times.
569* Let import completion return "import " instead of "import".

632
633* #60: Filename expansion: Cycling completions and deleting
634* #61: Filename expansion: Directory names with '.'s get mangled
635
636Other fixes without opened issues:
637
638* Encode items in the suggestion list properly

644--------
645
646Added missing data files to the tarball.
647
648
6490.9.5

659
660bpython has added a view source shortcut to show the source of the current
661function.
662
663The history file is now really configurable. This issue was reported
664in Debian's bugtracker.
665
666bpython has now some basic support for Python 3 (requires Pygments >=1.1.1).
667As a result, setuptools is now optional.
668
669The pastebin URL is now configurable and the default pastebin is now
670bpaste.net
671
672Argument names are now shown as completion suggestions and one can

676-----
677Bugfix release (mostly)
678

680* Autocompletion for file names (#40)
681* Indenting doesn't reset (#27)

689------
690This release was a true whopper!
691
692* Full unicode support
693* Configurable hotkey support
694* Theming support
695* Pastemode, disables syntax highlighting during a paste for faster pasting, highlights when done

700-----
701* help() now uses an external pager if available.
702* Fix for highlighting prefixed strings.
703* Fix to reset string highlighting after a SyntaxError.
704* bpython now uses optparse for option parsing and it supports --version now.
705* Configuration files are no longer passed by the first command line argument but by the -c command line switch.
706* Fix for problem related to editing lines in the history: http://bitbucket.org/bobf/bpython/issue/10/odd-behaviour-when-editing-commands-in-the-history

718* Switched to .ini file format for config file.
719* White background-friendly colour scheme added.
720* C-l now clears the screen.
721* SyntaxError now correctly added to history to prevent it garbling up on a redraw.
722
723Probably some other things, but I hate changelogs. :)
724
7250.8.0
726------
727
728It's been a long while since the last release and there have been numerous little
729bugfixes and extras here and there so I'm putting this out as 0.8.0. Check the
730hg commit history if you want more info:
731http://bitbucket.org/bobf/bpython/
732
7330.7.2
734-----
735Menno sent me some patches to fix some stuff:
736
737* Socket error handled when submitting to a pastebin.
738* Resizing could crash if you resize small enough.
739
740Other stuff:
741
742* 'self' in arg list is now highlighted a different colour.
743* flush_output option added to config to control whether output is flushed to stdout or not on exit.
744* Piping something to bpython made it lock up as stdin was not the keyboard - bpython just executes stdin and exits instead of trying to do something clever.
745* Mark Florisson (eggy) gave me a patch that stops weird breakage when unicode objects get added into the output buffer - they now get encoded into the output encoding.
746* Bohdan Vlasyuk sent me a patch that fixes a problem with the above patch from Mark if sys.__stdout__.encoding didn't exist.
747* Save to file now outputs executable code (i.e. without the >>> and ... and with "# OUT: " prepended to all output lines). I never used this feature much but someone asked for this behaviour.
748
7490.7.1
750-----
751* Added support for a history file, defaults to ~/.pythonhist and 100 lines but is configurable from the rc file (see sample-rc).
752* Charles Duffy has added a yank/put thing - C-k and C-y. He also ran the code through some PEP-8 checker thing and fixed up a few old habits I manage to break but didn't manage to fix the code to reflect this - thank you!
753* Jørgen Tjernø has fixed up the autoindentation issues we encountered when bringing soft tabs in.
754* SyntaxError, ValueError and OverflowError are now caught properly (code.InteractiveInterpreter treats these as different to other exceptions as it doesn't print the whole traceback, so a different handler is called). This was discovered as I was trying to stop autoindentation from occurring on a SyntaxError, which has also been fixed.
755* '.' now in sys.path on startup.
756
7570.7.0
758-----
759C-d behaviour changed so it no longer exits if the current line isn't empty.
760
761Extra linebreak added to end of stdout flush.
762
763pygments and pyparsing are now dependencies.
764
765Jørgen Tjernø has done lots of cool things like write a manpage and .desktop
766file and improved the way tabbing works and also added home, end and del key
767handling as well as C-w for deleting words - thanks a lot!
768
769raw_input() and all its friends now work fine.
770
771PYTHONSTARTUP handled without blowing up on stupid errors (it now parses the
772file at once instead of feeding it to the repl line-by-line).
773
7740.6.4
775-----
776KeyboardInterrupt handler clears the list window properly now.
777
7780.6.3
779-----
780Forgot to switch rpartition to split for 2.4 compat.
781
7820.6.2
783-----
784The help() now works (as far as I can see) exactly the same
785as the vanilla help() in the regular interpreter. I copied some
786code from pydoc.py to make it handle the special cases, e.g.
787help('keywords')
788help('modules')
789etc.
790
7910.6.1
792-----
793Somehow it escaped my attention that the list window was never
794fully using the rightmost column, except for the first row. This
795is because me and numbers don't have the best relationship. I think
796stability is really improving with the latest spat of bugfixes,
797keep me informed of any bugs.
798
7990.6.0
800-----
801No noticeable changes except that bpython should now work with
802Python 2.4. Personally I think it's silly to make a development
803tool work with an out of date version of Python but some people
804seem to disagree. The only real downside is that I had to do a
805horrible version of all() using reduce(), otherwise there's no
806real differences in the code.
807
8080.5.3
809-----
810Now you can configure a ~/.bpythonrc file (or pass a rc file at the
811command line (bpython /foo/bar). See README for details.
812
8130.5.2
814-----
815help() actually displays the full help page, and I fixed up the
816ghetto pager a little.
817
8180.5.1
819-----
820Now you can hit tab to display the autocomplete list, rather than
821have it pop up automatically as you type which, apparently, annoys
822Brendogg.
823
8240.5.0
825-----
826A few people have commented that the help() built-in function
827doesn't work so well with bpython, since Python will try to output
828the help string to PAGER (usually "less") which obviously makes
829everything go wrong when curses is involved. With a bit of hackery
830I've written my own ghetto pager and injected my own help function
831into the interpreter when it initialises in an attempt to rectify this.
832As such, it's pretty untested but it seems to be working okay for me.
833Suggestions/bug reports/patches are welcome regarding this.
834
8350.4.2
836-----
837Well, hopefully we're one step closer to making the list sizing
838stuff work. I really hate doing code for that kind of thing as I
839never get it quite right, but with perseverance it should end up
840being completely stable; it's not the hardest thing in the world.
841
842Various cosmetic fixes have been put in at the request of a bunch
843of people who were kind enough to send me emails regarding their
844experiences.
845
846PYTHONSTARTUP is now dealt with and used properly, as per the vanilla
847interpreter.
848
8490.4.1
850-----
851It looks like the last release was actually pretty bug-free, aside
852from one tiny bug that NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPENS but someone was bugging
853me about it anyway, oh well.
854
8550.4.0
856-----
857It's been quite a long time since the last update, due to several
858uninteresting and invalid excuses, but I finally reworked the list
859drawing procedures so the crashing seems to have been taken care of
860to an extent. If it still crashes, the way I've written it will hopefully
861allow a much more robust way of fixing it, one that might actually work.
862
8630.3.2
864-----
865Thanks to Aaron Gallagher for pointing out a case where the hugely
866inefficient list generation routines were actually making a significant
867issue; they're much more efficient now and should hopefully not cause
868any more problems.
869
8700.3.1
871-----
872Thanks to Klaus Alexander Seis for the expanduser() patch.
873Auto indent works on multiple levels now.
874
8750.3.0
876-----
877Now with auto-indent. Let me know if it's annoying.
878
8790.2.4
880-----
881Thanks a lot to Angus Gibson for submitting a patch to fix a problem
882I was having with initialising the keyboard stuff in curses properly.
883
884Also a big thanks to John Beisley for providing the patch that shows
885a class __init__ method's argspec on class instantiation.
886
887I've fixed up the argspec display so it handles really long argspecs
888(e.g. subprocess.Popen()) and doesn't crash if something horrible
889happens (rather, it avoids letting something horrible happen).
890
891I decided to add a key that will get rid of the autocomplete window,
892since it can get in the way. C-l seemed like a good choice, since
893it would work well as a side-effect of redrawing the screen (at
894least that makes sense to me). In so doing I also cleaned up a lot
895of the reevaluating and resizing code so that a lot of the strange
896output seen on Rewind/resize seems to be gone.
897
8980.2.3
899-----
900The fix for the last bug broke the positioning of the autocomplete
901box, whoops.
902
9030.2.2
904-----
905That pesky bug keeps coming up. I think it's finally nailed but
906it's just a matter of testing and hoping. I hate numbers.
907
9080.2.1
909-----
910I'm having a bit of trouble with some integer division that's
911causing trouble when a certain set of circumstances arise,
912and I think I've taken care of that little bug, since it's
913a real pain in the ass and only creeps up when I'm actually
914doing something useful, so I'll test it for a bit and release
915it as hopefully a bug fixed version.
916
9170.2.0
918-----
919A little late in the day to start a changelog, but here goes...
920This version fixed another annoying little bug that was causing
921crashes given certain exact circumstances. I always find it's the
922way with curses and sizing of windows and things...
923
924I've also got bpython to try looking into pydoc if no matches
925are found for the argspec, which means the builtins have argspecs
926too now, hooray.
927
928
