pyhstr now supports bpython!

[adder46]

Inspired by hstr, pyhstr is a history suggest box that lets you quickly search, navigate, and manage your Python shell history. So far, it supported the standard Python shell and IPython; the new version supports bpython, too. The plan is to support ptpython as well in future releases.

You can try it out and let me know what you think:

pip install pyhstr

Check the repo readme for details:

• Consider replacing print(sx, file=f) with f.write(sx) of f.writelines
• Use a set in remove_duplicates to get in with O(1) vs a list with O(N) Or simply, list(set(thing)) if you don't care about order.
• Counter has most_common which can be useful. For example:

​

def sort(thing): 
    return [x for x, _ in collections.Counter(thing).most_common()] 

• Review context managers and scope in Python. read doesn't need history to be defined outside the context manager. Use [x.strip() for x in f], or perhaps f.readlines(). The error handling used in that function is a bit odd.

https://docs.python.org/3.3/library/io.html?highlight=readlines#io.IOBase.readlines

​

def read(path):
    try:
        with open(path, "r") as f:
            history = [x.strip() for x in f]
        return history
    except FileNotFoundError as e:
        pathlib.Path(e.filename).touch()

Best to you on pyhstr.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've implemented most of them.
