readline — GNU readline interface

readline 모듈은 파이썬 인터프리터에서 완성(completion)과 히스토리 파일의 읽기/쓰기를 용이하게 하는 여러 함수를 정의합니다. 이 모듈은 직접 사용하거나, 대화식 프롬프트에서 파이썬 식별자 완성을 지원하는 rlcompleter 모듈을 통해 사용할 수 있습니다. 이 모듈을 사용하여 설정한 내용은 인터프리터의 대화식 프롬프트와 내장 input() 함수가 제공하는 프롬프트의 동작에 영향을 줍니다.

Readline keybindings may be configured via an initialization file, typically .inputrc in your home directory. See Readline Init File in the GNU Readline manual for information about the format and allowable constructs of that file, and the capabilities of the Readline library in general.

Availability: not Android, not iOS, not WASI.

This module is not supported on mobile platforms or WebAssembly platforms.

참고

The underlying Readline library API may be implemented by the editline (libedit) library instead of GNU readline. On macOS the readline module detects which library is being used at run time.

The configuration file for editline is different from that of GNU readline. If you programmatically load configuration strings you can use backend to determine which library is being used.

If you use editline/libedit readline emulation on macOS, the initialization file located in your home directory is named .editrc. For example, the following content in ~/.editrc will turn ON vi keybindings and TAB completion:

python:bind -v
python:bind ^I rl_complete

Also note that different libraries may use different history file formats. When switching the underlying library, existing history files may become unusable.

readline.backend

The name of the underlying Readline library being used, either "readline" or "editline".

Added in version 3.13.

초기화 파일

다음 함수는 초기화 파일 및 사용자 구성과 관련이 있습니다:

readline.parse_and_bind(string)

Execute the init line provided in the string argument. This calls rl_parse_and_bind() in the underlying library.

readline.read_init_file([filename])

Execute a readline initialization file. The default filename is the last filename used. This calls rl_read_init_file() in the underlying library.

줄 버퍼

다음 함수는 라인 버퍼에 대해 작용합니다:

readline.get_line_buffer()

Return the current contents of the line buffer (rl_line_buffer in the underlying library).

readline.insert_text(string)

Insert text into the line buffer at the cursor position. This calls rl_insert_text() in the underlying library, but ignores the return value.

readline.redisplay()

Change what’s displayed on the screen to reflect the current contents of the line buffer. This calls rl_redisplay() in the underlying library.

히스토리 파일

다음 함수는 히스토리 파일에 대해 작용합니다:

readline.read_history_file([filename])

Load a readline history file, and append it to the history list. The default filename is ~/.history. This calls read_history() in the underlying library.

readline.write_history_file([filename])

Save the history list to a readline history file, overwriting any existing file. The default filename is ~/.history. This calls write_history() in the underlying library.

readline.append_history_file(nelements[, filename])

Append the last nelements items of history to a file. The default filename is ~/.history. The file must already exist. This calls append_history() in the underlying library. This function only exists if Python was compiled for a version of the library that supports it.

Added in version 3.5.

readline.get_history_length()
readline.set_history_length(length)

Set or return the desired number of lines to save in the history file. The write_history_file() function uses this value to truncate the history file, by calling history_truncate_file() in the underlying library. Negative values imply unlimited history file size.

히스토리 목록

다음 함수는 전역 히스토리 목록에 대해 작용합니다:

readline.clear_history()

Clear the current history. This calls clear_history() in the underlying library. The Python function only exists if Python was compiled for a version of the library that supports it.

readline.get_current_history_length()

현재 히스토리에 있는 항목 수를 반환합니다. (이것은 히스토리 파일에 기록될 최대 줄 수를 반환하는 get_history_length()와 다릅니다.)

readline.get_history_item(index)

Return the current contents of history item at index. The item index is one-based. This calls history_get() in the underlying library.

readline.remove_history_item(pos)

Remove history item specified by its position from the history. The position is zero-based. This calls remove_history() in the underlying library.

readline.replace_history_item(pos, line)

Replace history item specified by its position with line. The position is zero-based. This calls replace_history_entry() in the underlying library.

readline.add_history(line)

Append line to the history buffer, as if it was the last line typed. This calls add_history() in the underlying library.

readline.set_auto_history(enabled)

Enable or disable automatic calls to add_history() when reading input via readline. The enabled argument should be a Boolean value that when true, enables auto history, and that when false, disables auto history.

Added in version 3.6.

CPython 구현 상세: Auto history is enabled by default, and changes to this do not persist across multiple sessions.

시동 훅

readline.set_startup_hook([function])

Set or remove the function invoked by the rl_startup_hook callback of the underlying library. If function is specified, it will be used as the new hook function; if omitted or None, any function already installed is removed. The hook is called with no arguments just before readline prints the first prompt.

readline.set_pre_input_hook([function])

Set or remove the function invoked by the rl_pre_input_hook callback of the underlying library. If function is specified, it will be used as the new hook function; if omitted or None, any function already installed is removed. The hook is called with no arguments after the first prompt has been printed and just before readline starts reading input characters. This function only exists if Python was compiled for a version of the library that supports it.

완성

다음 함수는 사용자 정의 단어 완성 기능 구현과 관련이 있습니다. 이것은 일반적으로 Tab 키로 작동하며, 입력되는 단어를 제안하고 자동으로 완성할 수 있습니다. 기본적으로, Readline은 대화식 인터프리터를 위해 파이썬 식별자를 완성하는 rlcompleter에서 사용하도록 설정되어 있습니다. readline 모듈을 사용자 정의 완성기와 함께 사용하려면, 다른 단어 구분자 집합을 설정해야 합니다.

readline.set_completer([function])

완성 함수를 설정하거나 제거합니다. function이 지정되면 새 완성 함수로 사용됩니다; 생략하거나 None이면, 이미 설치된 완성 함수가 제거됩니다. 완성 함수는 문자열이 아닌 값을 반환할 때까지 0, 1, 2 등의 state에 대해 function(text, state)로 호출됩니다. text로 시작하는 다음으로 가능한 완성을 반환해야 합니다.

The installed completer function is invoked by the entry_func callback passed to rl_completion_matches() in the underlying library. The text string comes from the first parameter to the rl_attempted_completion_function callback of the underlying library.

readline.get_completer()

완성 함수나, 완성 함수가 설정되지 않았으면 None을 얻습니다.

readline.get_completion_type()

Get the type of completion being attempted. This returns the rl_completion_type variable in the underlying library as an integer.

readline.get_begidx()
readline.get_endidx()

Get the beginning or ending index of the completion scope. These indexes are the start and end arguments passed to the rl_attempted_completion_function callback of the underlying library. The values may be different in the same input editing scenario based on the underlying C readline implementation. Ex: libedit is known to behave differently than libreadline.

readline.set_completer_delims(string)
readline.get_completer_delims()

Set or get the word delimiters for completion. These determine the start of the word to be considered for completion (the completion scope). These functions access the rl_completer_word_break_characters variable in the underlying library.

readline.set_completion_display_matches_hook([function])

Set or remove the completion display function. If function is specified, it will be used as the new completion display function; if omitted or None, any completion display function already installed is removed. This sets or clears the rl_completion_display_matches_hook callback in the underlying library. The completion display function is called as function(substitution, [matches], longest_match_length) once each time matches need to be displayed.

예제

다음 예는 readline 모듈의 히스토리 읽기와 쓰기 함수를 사용하여 사용자의 홈 디렉터리에서 .python_history라는 이름의 히스토리 파일을 자동으로 로드하고 저장하는 방법을 보여줍니다. 아래 코드는 일반적으로 사용자의 PYTHONSTARTUP 파일에서 대화식 세션 중에 자동으로 실행됩니다.

import atexit
import os
import readline

histfile = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), ".python_history")
try:
    readline.read_history_file(histfile)
    # default history len is -1 (infinite), which may grow unruly
    readline.set_history_length(1000)
except FileNotFoundError:
    pass

atexit.register(readline.write_history_file, histfile)

이 코드는 실제로 파이썬이 대화형 모드로 실행될 때 자동으로 실행됩니다 (Readline 구성을 참조하십시오).

다음 예는 같은 목표를 달성하지만 새 히스토리를 덧붙이기만 해서 동시적인(concurrent) 대화형 세션을 지원합니다.

import atexit
import os
import readline
histfile = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), ".python_history")

try:
    readline.read_history_file(histfile)
    h_len = readline.get_current_history_length()
except FileNotFoundError:
    open(histfile, 'wb').close()
    h_len = 0

def save(prev_h_len, histfile):
    new_h_len = readline.get_current_history_length()
    readline.set_history_length(1000)
    readline.append_history_file(new_h_len - prev_h_len, histfile)
atexit.register(save, h_len, histfile)

다음 예는 히스토리 저장/복원을 지원하도록 code.InteractiveConsole 클래스를 확장합니다.

import atexit
import code
import os
import readline

class HistoryConsole(code.InteractiveConsole):
    def __init__(self, locals=None, filename="<console>",
                 histfile=os.path.expanduser("~/.console-history")):
        code.InteractiveConsole.__init__(self, locals, filename)
        self.init_history(histfile)

    def init_history(self, histfile):
        readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
        if hasattr(readline, "read_history_file"):
            try:
                readline.read_history_file(histfile)
            except FileNotFoundError:
                pass
            atexit.register(self.save_history, histfile)

    def save_history(self, histfile):
        readline.set_history_length(1000)
        readline.write_history_file(histfile)
