I don't know if it's still like that, but last time I checked, I had to invoke
python -m bpython.cli
instead of just bpython to get autocompletion for packages in your load path. This project hasn't seen any commits since last March. If anyone is up for it, it can really use some help. It's a very promising project and I like it a lot, if only it didn't have those couple of annoyances... Too bad I have no time to contribute, I have 3 projects of my own to deal with...
First thing's first: I'm not sure when you last tried bpython, but simply running "bpython" will provide import completion for your pwd.
As for there having been no commits since last March, well I'm not sure where you found that information - please see commit history on bitbucket page: https://bitbucket.org/bobf/bpython/commits
I started work on bpython about 5 years ago. These days I essentially don't do any work for it, but there are a couple of people who still take care of issues when they have time. It seems most people are pretty much satisfied with the project. If they aren't, I encourage them to either look at the open issues and try to close some of them, or try an alternative like IPython or DreamPie (IPython specifically just got a huge financial grant for development costs so it should be seeing a lot of work being done on it - should be very interesting to see what those guys do).
Either way, it just seemed a little odd to me to see bpython described as a "promising project" (after citing two falsehoods about the project) when I personally consider bpython as "complete" to a certain extent (and for any sane meaning of the word in software). Sure there are things I'd like to add, but bpython does exactly what I want and I rarely feel that there is something missing.
For those that disagree, either bpython is not for you (there are some great alternatives), or it is time to fork the project and send us your pull requests - we'll be very grateful for them. :)
