pyhstr

Inspired by hstr, pyhstr is a history suggest box that lets you quickly search, navigate, and manage your Python shell history. At this point, it supports the standard Python shell, IPython, and bpython. The plan is to support ptpython as well, but some help is needed for that to happen (see issue #7).

Installation

pip install pyhstr

Usage

The standard shell and bpython:

>>> from pyhstr import hh
>>> hh

IPython:

In [1]: import pyhstr
In [2]: %hh

Making an alias should be more convenient though, for example:

alias py='python3 -ic "from pyhstr import hh"'

Development

You will need poetry, preferably with these options in config:

virtualenvs.create = true
virtualenvs.in-project = true

Then clone the repo, cd into it, make a venv, activate it, and install the project:

git clone https://github.com/adder46/pyhstr
cd pyhstr
poetry env use python3
. .venv/bin/activate
poetry install

To run tests, mypy checks, and style checks, you need to have Pythons:

• 3.7
• 3.8
• 3.9

For installing all the Python versions, I recommend pyenv.

Once you have them, run:

tox
