How to use Bpython with GAE remote_api_shell.py?

Question

Basically I'm trying to get the Google App Engine remote_api_shell.py to look like this:

Instead of looking like this:

For some reason this works:

$ python /usr/local/bin/remote_api_shell.py banded-advice-96618

but this does not work:

$ bpython /usr/local/bin/remote_api_shell.py banded-advice-96618

I even tried:

$ bpython -i /usr/local/bin/remote_api_shell.py banded-advice-96618

which is supposed to Drop to bpython shell after running file instead of exiting, but that didn't work either. I wasn't able to import the proper files from my current location.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

The remote_api_shell.py script isn't designed for use with bpython, and so this is expected. I suggest you file a Feature Request in the Public Issue Tracker for this.
