Hi all,
I'm looking at building an interactive session in front of some
rdfobj instances. I've used cmd and just found code.Interactive*.
Protocol doesn't matter, I'm looking at the UI possibilities.
History is nice to have and my intention is to write output of
the session to stdin/stderr.
However, my question, can I change the "prompt" string in respond
to user input using readline? AFAIK I'll need curses to do this?
And colored prompts?
Example: the prompt, say '>>>', would change depending on wether
I type '<', '@' or ':' (and autocompletion libraries change too) .
I sometimes see some fancy shell output ('percentage loaded'-bars,
etc) and I'm wondering how to do this with python and what it does
to stdout. Any pointers?
regards, Berend
PS: please cc, I'm not on list
