Tim Peters <t...@python.org> added the comment: doctest was intended to deal with the standard CPython terminal shell. I'd like to keep it that way, but recognize that everyone wants to change everything into "a framework" ;-)
How many other shells are there? As Sergey linked to, IPython already dealt with its shell conventions, and PS1/PS2 differences account for a relatively tiny amount of the 600+ lines of IPython-customization code they'd need anyway. That is, I don't see that this would be of much value to IPython. So people who "need" this already figured out how to do this - and there aren't many of them anyway. I'd leave it alone. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32832> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
