Cherniavsky Beni <b...@google.com> added the comment: Easily detecting interactive mode is of general interest for customization.
1. What if C also set sys.flags.interactive in "python" mode, or exposed sys.flags.implicit_interactive (but with better name)? 2. It's more useful to have a hook called when entering interactive mode, rather than a flag that's set from the beginning: $ python -i -c 'import sys; print sys.flags.interactive' 1 >>> For this, importing _setupinteractive is a step forward; calling e.g. sys.__interactivehook__ sounds even better. (site.py would set it by default to a function that enables rlcompleter, user can always override...) BTW, drawback of doing any such setup in site.py: "python -S" would be unfriendly! ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5845> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
