There aren't any comprehensive list that I know of which lists the features of each interpreter.

as to bpython vs ipython, last tested it out, bpython still lacked a core feature that ipython has, which is a shell-style history. I can't mention how often I am thinking "hmmm, did'nt I write something like that before", and search backward to find something I wrote a half year ago, or say yesterday...




It always has, with the up arrow. Has a new word search (like ctrl+r) also. Not sure how long the hist is kept though.


You can configure it to store on disk (I believe this is the default).

Why do people keep saying "last time I checked bpython didn't do X" when I can't even remember a time when we didn't offer this feature ? :)
