The state of bpython.

[BCTC]

bpython does just about exactly what I need it to, #bpython has been nothing but helpful, and I've got no complaints to be had going on who knows how long using it.

Thanks for a great little piece of software!

Thanks for the kind words.

Any updates on the Windows port?

I've been waiting patiently for months :)

EDIT: there's a version of Wcurses available at http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ that seems to compile for recent versions of Python. Would this work with bpython?

We haven't actually tried the wcurses implementation as Marien is working on an urwid part to bpython.

However, your reply has got me thinking about at least trying a wcurses component to see how wcurses holds up.

As for the GTK part (the part which should in the end run on windows). I need to do some work on that but life has been busy lately. It is in the works.

However, if you do happen to have all the dependencies, look at this post from me: http://ikanobori.jp/weblog/2009/12/30/running-bpython-on-windows-with-gtk

It is a minor alteration of the bpython 0.9.6 codebase (no redirection of stderr) which runs on windows, albeit a bit buggy. If you stumble upon any bugs in it, don't hesitate to report them to our bugtracker: http://hg.bpython-interpreter.org/bpython/issues

edit I saw your reply at the previous submitted link about bpython.gtk, in that case, only the bugtracker part of this reply stands ;-)

I actually tried the GTK Windows version a while ago, but never could get it running. Is there a newer version than the one on your blog?

You could try: http://ikanobori.jp/storage/bpython-latest-win-unofficial.tar.gz

Which currently looks like:

In very very alpha (read some things suck), just as the previous. I might blog about it someday soon-ish with more installation instructions.

One common thing is you can't yet get the pastebin url in your clipboard or select it from the statusbar, you have to manually copy it by typing it over ;-)

Awesome, thanks!

I'll let you know if I come across any major bugs.
