inpy

#!/usr/bin/python -i

# Enhance introspection at the python interactive prompt.
# This is a very simple alternative to ipython
# whose default settings I don't like.

# Notes:
#   You can run it directly, or call it like:
#     PYTHONSTARTUP=~/path/to/inpy python
# Changes:
#    V0.1      09 Sep 2008     Initial release
#    V0.2      30 Nov 2010
