Hellos Pythonistas , While we all agree that getting good handle over programming language requires practice and we often want playground sort of experience to get a hang of what we are trying , thats when REPL - Read Evaluate Print Loop helps us
While default python interpreter is really nice , often you cant go back to what you typed if you make typos , and doesn't offer completion or nice GUI , there are couple of options to mitigate this pain and enjoy the pure python fun
I personally use bpython and love it so far , look at the screenshot
for the curious , b in the bpython stands for "Bob"
- Ipython : https://ipython.org/
- A powerful interactive shell.
- A kernel for Jupyter.
- Support for interactive data visualization and use of GUI toolkits.
- Flexible, embeddable interpreters to load into your own projects.
- Easy to use, high performance tools for parallel computing.
- Jupyter Notebook : http://jupyter.org/
Project Jupyter is a project born out of Ipython and its focus is interactive data science and
scientific computing
Well , thats it folks , the point across is all these options are better than default interpreter so make a switch to one of these for better productivity and lesser typing :-).
Happy Pythoning , until next time ...........
