If you use Python, you know that its interactive shell is a great way to test out ideas and iterate quickly. Unfortunately, the basic interactive shell is very barebones – there is no syntax highlighting, autocompletion, or any of the features we come to expect from working in IDEs. Fortunately if you’re on a Unix system, there is a great program called bpython which adds all of those missing features.
If you have easy_install, it’s the simplest thing in the world to install:
sudo easy_install bpython
I can’t recommend this product enough. It’s free, so what’re you waiting for?
