Some would argue why it can't be more like IPython. :) But agreed, good work... tab completion is very helpful when learning a language.

- Goranek 13y agoIPython seems to be "too heavy" for me compared to Bpython :) Bpython is perfect for me.
- JasonFruit 13y agoI had the same feeling about IPython, and I rather liked bpython — and then I discovered DreamPie, which offers a number of features I have found useful in exploratory programming. Yes, it moves me out of both Emacs and my terminal, but it's almost worth it.
- gknoy 13y agoThe thing that soured me on bpython, after loving it for months, was the realization that I could not scroll back easily to see results of past things (aside from the most recent one). Ipython (and, even better, the qtconsole for it) does that much better. In a console, I like bpython's interface and autocomplete suggestion interface, but being unable to scroll back and see what I did 3 commands ago was a deal killer.
