Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Adding at least 'dumb indentation' (repeat last indent) to the REPL would make it at least a bit more usable. (This still would not be a good as an IDE, like IDLE, that does smarter indentation, such as adding an additional indent after a compound statement header ends with ':'.)
The simplest patch would be to slice and echo the initial whitespace (spaces and tabs) of each line that needs to be followed with a secondary prompt. What I don't know is whether, on every console, a printed tab always has the same effect as a tab entered by a user. Testing would be needed. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29339> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
