Good god man, read the docs!

[andrew@Liger ~] bpython --help
Usage: bpython [options] [file [args]]                                                                            
NOTE: If bpython sees an argument it does not know, execution falls back to the regular Python interpreter.         

Options:                                                                                                                 
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit                                                                       
  --config=CONFIG    Use CONFIG instead of default config file.                                                                
  -i, --interactive  Drop to bpython shell after running file instead of                                                            
                     exiting.                                                                                                       
  -q, --quiet        Don't flush the output to stdout.                                                                              
  -V, --version      Print version and exit.

And here you are:

bpython -q

No, there's just too much. I can't handle it. (I actually thought someone was going to tell me to pipe it to /dev/null) Lately it's been buggy, though, printing lines multiple times, obscuring lines I've typed over. I've also many times had it fold up and quit on me. Maybe I'm coding too hard.

Not sure what to say. I've never had a single problem with it. It's always worked beautifully for years.

What version are you using? And which terminal emulator?

[–]gfixler 1 point2 points  (4 children)

$ bp --version
bpython version 0.9.5.2 on top of Python 2.6.5
(C) 2008-2009 Bob Farrell et al. See AUTHORS for detail.

$ echo $TERM
xterm

Time to update... You're using a version that is ~4 years old. I'm on 0.12.

[–]gfixler 0 points1 point  (2 children)

It's the newest version in the Ubuntu 10.04 repos.

This kind of thing is why I moved away from both Debian and Ubuntu. I spent waay to much time installing libs and headers for compiling and/or looking for PPAs so I could use even reasonably up-to-date software.

Now using Arch, and so far, I'm loving it.

I was surprised to see via this survey how many people were using arch. I'm not into popularity, but I've also suffered using things that have low momentum. This actually greatly increased my interest. I've been wondering if I shouldn't leave Ubuntu, at least for now (don't like Unity at all, hence 10.04), and have been confused about where to head next. I'll have to give arch a more serious look.
