prompt-toolkit/ptpython
Ptpython
ptpython is an enhanced interactive Python REPL and asynchronous console built on the prompt-toolkit library. It provides a customizable command-line interface for executing Python code with support for multiline editing, autocompletion, and syntax highlighting.
The environment supports top-level await statements and asynchronous execution via an integrated event loop. It allows for extensive interface customization, including configurable key bindings for Vi or Emacs navigation and personalized color schemes.
The shell includes capabilities for real-time syntax validation and the execution of system shell commands without leaving the session. It can be integrated as an embedded REPL within other applications or used to wrap external shells to provide additional magic functions.
