DreamPie is a graphical interactive Python shell which is designed to be reliable and fun. Check it out at http://dreampie.sourceforge.net/
Richer function documentation
This is a feature from IPython which is frequently requested. I think that the model should be Eclipse - when you type a paren after a function name it opens a yellow popup window which displays its argument and a bit of documentation, and lets you make it a real window by pressing F2.
Complete module names
This was a bug report by cool-RR: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dreampie/+bug/525610
IPython completes module names. That's a good idea.
More by cool-RR: Complete things that aren't defined yet
Imagine I'm writing this function:
def factorial(n):
- import random random.whatever() return n * factorial(n-1)
I'd want DreamPie to autocomplete both the whatever thing and the use of factorial inside the definition. Probably hard, I know.
