  47. prompt_toolkit features
  48. ***********************
  49. ``prompt_toolkit`` could be a replacement for `GNU readline
  50. <https://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html>`_, but it can be much
  51. more than that.
  52. Some features:
  53. - **Pure Python**.
  54. - Syntax highlighting of the input while typing. (For instance, with a Pygments lexer.)
  55. - Multi-line input editing.
  56. - Advanced code completion.
  57. - Both Emacs and Vi key bindings. (Similar to readline.)
  58. - Even some advanced Vi functionality, like named registers and digraphs.
  59. - Reverse and forward incremental search.
  60. - Works well with Unicode double width characters. (Chinese input.)
  61. - Selecting text for copy/paste. (Both Emacs and Vi style.)
  62. - Support for `bracketed paste <https://cirw.in/blog/bracketed-paste>`_.
  63. - Mouse support for cursor positioning and scrolling.
  64. - Auto suggestions. (Like `fish shell <http://fishshell.com/>`_.)
  65. - Multiple input buffers.
  66. - No global state.
  67. - Lightweight, the only dependencies are Pygments and wcwidth.
  68. - Runs on Linux, OS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Windows systems.
  69. - And much more...
  70. Feel free to create tickets for bugs and feature requests, and create pull
  71. requests if you have nice patches that you would like to share with others.
  72. Installation
  73. ************
  74. ::
  75. pip install prompt_toolkit
  76. For Conda, do:
  77. ::
  78. conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge prompt_toolkit
  79. About Windows support
  80. *********************
  81. ``prompt_toolkit`` is cross platform, and everything that you build on top
  82. should run fine on both Unix and Windows systems. Windows support is best on
  83. recent Windows 10 builds, for which the command line window supports vt100
  84. escape sequences. (If not supported, we fall back to using Win32 APIs for color
  85. and cursor movements).
  86. It's worth noting that the implementation is a "best effort of what is
  87. possible". Both Unix and Windows terminals have their limitations. But in
  88. general, the Unix experience will still be a little better.
  89. Getting started
  90. ***************
  91. The most simple example of the library would look like this:
  92. .. code:: python
  93. from prompt_toolkit import prompt
  94. if __name__ == '__main__':
  95. answer = prompt('Give me some input: ')
  96. print('You said: %s' % answer)
  97. For more complex examples, have a look in the ``examples`` directory. All
  98. examples are chosen to demonstrate only one thing. Also, don't be afraid to
  99. look at the source code. The implementation of the ``prompt`` function could be
  100. a good start.
  101. Philosophy
  102. **********
  103. The source code of ``prompt_toolkit`` should be **readable**, **concise** and
  104. **efficient**. We prefer short functions focusing each on one task and for which
  105. the input and output types are clearly specified. We mostly prefer composition
  106. over inheritance, because inheritance can result in too much functionality in
  107. the same object. We prefer immutable objects where possible (objects don't
  108. change after initialization). Reusability is important. We absolutely refrain
  109. from having a changing global state, it should be possible to have multiple
  110. independent instances of the same code in the same process. The architecture
  111. should be layered: the lower levels operate on primitive operations and data
  112. structures giving -- when correctly combined -- all the possible flexibility;
  113. while at the higher level, there should be a simpler API, ready-to-use and
  114. sufficient for most use cases. Thinking about algorithms and efficiency is
  115. important, but avoid premature optimization.
