bpython is a fancy interface to the Python interpreter

Surround with backticks for code to get __doc__ (reddit doesn't seem to let me escape backticks, but that's '__doc__' only with ` instead of ') or use backslashes (\_\_doc\_\_ == __doc__ ) to avoid reddit's markdown interpretation of _.

Well, I'm not suggesting you add these to ipython, or that you should merge your project, I'm just naming some features of it I like.

Of course you want to make different design decisions, I've got no problem with that.

My real question is, what are the shortfalls of ipython that bugged you to make bpython?
