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).
