The pyreadline package is a python implementation of GNU readline functionality.
It is based on the UNC readline package by Gary Bishop which in turn is based on the ctypes module in the standard library.
It is not complete. It has been tested for use with Windows 2000 and Windows XP as well as Windows 10.
Version 2.0 runs on Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3+ using the same code.
- Keybindings in accordance with the GNU readline library
- Shift-Arrow keys for text selection
- Control-C for copy
- Activate with allow_ctrl_c(True) in config file. An example is given at :file:`pyreadline/configuration/pyreadlineconfig.ini`
- Double tapping Control-C will raise a KeyboardInterrupt
- use ctrl_c_tap_time_interval(x) where x is your preferred tap time window
- default 0.3s
- standard paste which pastes first line of content on clipboard
- Alternatively, users can set the option
IPython_paste- which pastes tab-separated data as list of lists or numpy array if all data is numeric
- paste_multiline_code pastes code that spans multiple lines or has
embedded newlines in it.
- Useful for copy pasting code
