Sadly, Windows does not offer much in the way of powerful interactive
commands like most Linux shells do. You can try these options:
- try using Python's IDLE:
http://www.google.com.au/search?q=how+to+run+IDLE+python
- Use a commercial third-party IDE ("Integrated Development
Environment") such as PyCharm, Anaconda or Komodo. Some of them may cost
money, but they may have free or trial versions.
- Or a third-party editor such as Spyder, if it comes with its own
interactive shell.
- I can strongly recomment iPython, which is very powerful and includes
a lot of command-line features that even Linux shells don't:
http://ipython.org/
If you've used Mathematica, you may love iPython's "notepad" feature.
Now we start getting to slightly more complex options, which may not
work, but it would be interesting to try:
- Try installing pyreadline, and see it is will work with Python 3.4. If
it does, you might be able to convince Python 3.4's rlcompleter module
to work with it.
- Still if pyreadline works with Python 3.4, you might like my command
line tab completer and history module rather than the built-in one:
http://code.google.com/p/tabhistory/source/browse/tabhistory.py
I've never tested it on Windows, so I don't know if it will actually
work or not.
Good luck!

Sadly, Windows does not offer much in the way of powerful interactive
commands like most Linux shells do. You can try these options:
- try using Python's IDLE:

It interprets your commands. I've read on Python.Org's site in a tutorial section that some interrupters > offer command line editing The easiest way for you to get that is to use IDLE, the development tool for Python. There should be a menu entry on your OS to launch IDLE (sometimes called 'Python GUI'). The IDLE interactive shell allows you to use cut n paste, as well as keys such as Alt-UP/DOWN to cycle through history etc. You can get most of these features in the Windows CMD.exe too but you need to set some registry entries. Typing HELP CMD at the OS prompt brings up a long page describing the features you can choose to turn on and how. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
