 Introduction
 ============
-A few people asked for stuff like syntax highlighting
-and autocomplete for the Python interactive interpreter.
-IPython seems to offer this (plus you can get readline
-behaviour in the vanilla interpreter) but I tried
-IPython a couple of times. Perhaps I didn't really get
-it, but I get the feeling that the ideas behind IPython
-are pretty different to bpython. I didn't want to create
-a whole development environment; I simply wanted to
-provide a couple of neat features that already exist
-and turn them into something a little more interactive.
-
-The idea is to provide the user with all the features
-in-line, much like modern IDEs, but in a simple,
-lightweight package that can be run in a terminal
-window, so curses seemed like the best choice.
-Sorry if you use Windows.
-
-bpython doesn't attempt to create anything new or
-groundbreaking, it simply brings together a few neat
-ideas and focuses on practicality and usefulness.
-For this reason, the "Rewind" function should be
-taken with a pinch of salt, but personally I have
-found it to be very useful. I use bpython now
-whenever I would normally use the vanilla interpreter,
-e.g. for testing out solutions to people's problems
-on IRC, quickly testing a method of doing something
-without creating a temporary file, etc..
-
-I hope you find it useful and please feel free to
-submit any bugs/patches (yeah right)/suggestions

 ========
 
 * In-line syntax highlighting.
-	This uses Pygments for lexing the code as you type,
-	and colours appropriately. Pygments does a great job
-	of doing all of the tricky stuff and really leaving
-	me with very little to do except format the tokens
-	in all my favourite colours.

 * Readline-like autocomplete with suggestions displayed as you type.
-	Thanks to Python's readline interface to libreadline
-	and a ready-made class for using a Python interpreter's
-	scope as the dataset, the only work here was displaying
-	the readline matches as you type in a separate curses
-	window below/above the cursor.

 * Expected parameter list.
-	As in a lot of modern IDEs, bpython will attempt to
-	display a list of parameters for any function you
-	call. The inspect module is tried first, which works
-	with any Python function, and then pydoc if that fails,
-	which seems to be pretty adequate, but obviously
-	in some cases it's simply not possible. I used pyparsing
-	to cure my nested parentheses woes; again, it was
-	nice and easy.

 * Rewind.
-	I didn't call this "Undo" because I thought that would
-	be misleading, but "Rewind" is probably as bad. The
-	idea is that the code entered is kept in memory and
-	when the Rewind function is called, the last line is
-	popped and the entire code is re-evaluated. As you can
-	imagine, this has a lot of potential problems, but for
-	defining classes and functions, I've found it to be
-	nothing but useful.

 * Pastebin code/write to file.
-	I don't really use the save thing much, but the pastebin
-	thing's great. Hit a key and what you see on the screen
-	will be sent to a pastebin and a URL is returned for you
-	to do what you like with. I've hardcoded paste.pocoo.org
-	in for now, that needs to be fixed so it's configurable.

 	Next release, I promise.
 
 * Flush curses screen to stdout.
-	A featurette, perhaps, but I thought it was worth noting.
-	I can't personally recall a curses app that does this,
-	perhaps it's often not useful, but when you quit bpython,
-	the screen data will be flushed to stdout, so it basically
-	looks the same as if you had quit the vanilla interpreter.
