``prompt_toolkit`` *is a library for building powerful interactive command line applications in Python.*

NOTICE: prompt_toolkit 3.0
|
|
**************************
|
|
|
|
Please notice that this branch is the ``prompt_toolkit`` **3.0** branch. For most
|
|
users, it should be compatible with ``prompt_toolkit`` **2.0**, but it requires at
|
|
least **Python 3.6**. On the plus side, ``prompt_toolkit`` **3.0** is completely type
|
|
annotated and uses asyncio natively.

`ptpython <http://github.com/prompt-toolkit/ptpython/>`_ is an interactive
|
|
Python Shell, build on top of ``prompt_toolkit``.

prompt_toolkit features
|
|
***********************
|
|
|
|
``prompt_toolkit`` could be a replacement for `GNU readline
|
|
<https://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html>`_, but it can be much
|
|
more than that.
|
|
|
|
Some features:
|
|
|
|
- **Pure Python**.
|
|
- Syntax highlighting of the input while typing. (For instance, with a Pygments lexer.)
|
|
- Multi-line input editing.
|
|
- Advanced code completion.
|
|
- Both Emacs and Vi key bindings. (Similar to readline.)
|
|
- Even some advanced Vi functionality, like named registers and digraphs.
|
|
- Reverse and forward incremental search.
|
|
- Works well with Unicode double width characters. (Chinese input.)
|
|
- Selecting text for copy/paste. (Both Emacs and Vi style.)
|
|
- Support for `bracketed paste <https://cirw.in/blog/bracketed-paste>`_.
|
|
- Mouse support for cursor positioning and scrolling.
|
|
- Auto suggestions. (Like `fish shell <http://fishshell.com/>`_.)
|
|
- Multiple input buffers.
|
|
- No global state.
|
|
- Lightweight, the only dependencies are Pygments and wcwidth.
|
|
- Runs on Linux, OS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Windows systems.
|
|
- And much more...

Installation
|
|
************
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
pip install prompt_toolkit
|
|
|
|
For Conda, do:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge prompt_toolkit

About Windows support
|
|
*********************
|
|
|
|
``prompt_toolkit`` is cross platform, and everything that you build on top
|
|
should run fine on both Unix and Windows systems. Windows support is best on
|
|
recent Windows 10 builds, for which the command line window supports vt100
|
|
escape sequences. (If not supported, we fall back to using Win32 APIs for color
|
|
and cursor movements).
|
|
|
|
It's worth noting that the implementation is a "best effort of what is
|
|
possible". Both Unix and Windows terminals have their limitations. But in
|
|
general, the Unix experience will still be a little better.
|
|
|
|
For Windows, it's recommended to use either `cmder
|
|
<http://cmder.net/>`_ or `conemu <https://conemu.github.io/>`_.
|
|
|
|
Getting started
|
|
***************
|
|
|
|
The most simple example of the library would look like this:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: python
|
|
|
|
from prompt_toolkit import prompt
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == '__main__':
|
|
answer = prompt('Give me some input: ')
|
|
print('You said: %s' % answer)
|
|
|
|
For more complex examples, have a look in the ``examples`` directory. All
|
|
examples are chosen to demonstrate only one thing. Also, don't be afraid to
|
|
look at the source code. The implementation of the ``prompt`` function could be
|
|
a good start.
|
|
|
|
Philosophy
|
|
**********
|
|
|
|
The source code of ``prompt_toolkit`` should be **readable**, **concise** and
|
|
**efficient**. We prefer short functions focusing each on one task and for which
|
|
the input and output types are clearly specified. We mostly prefer composition
|
|
over inheritance, because inheritance can result in too much functionality in
|
|
the same object. We prefer immutable objects where possible (objects don't
|
|
change after initialization). Reusability is important. We absolutely refrain
|
|
from having a changing global state, it should be possible to have multiple
|
|
independent instances of the same code in the same process. The architecture
|
|
should be layered: the lower levels operate on primitive operations and data
|
|
structures giving -- when correctly combined -- all the possible flexibility;
|
|
while at the higher level, there should be a simpler API, ready-to-use and
|
|
sufficient for most use cases. Thinking about algorithms and efficiency is
|
|
important, but avoid premature optimization.
