#EditREPL EditREPL is a port of Giles Bowkett's InteractiveEditor component from his ruby gem Utility Belt.

EditREPL allows you to run a terminal based editor inside your REPL session to interactively edit code.

##Installation Installation is easy using either pip or easy_install.

easy_install EditREPL
pip install EditREPL

##Supported Environments EditREPL is Python2 and Python3 compatible with the default interactive shell.

##Basic Usage To include it in your session, import the module and call the editor function:

import editrepl
vim()

After you save, the buffer will be executed in the current REPL context.

##Advanced Usage ###Can I edit any file? Yes, just call the editor function with the filename you want to edit.

vim("myfile.py")

###How does EditREPL choose your editor? By default it uses the editor defined as your EDITOR environment variable, but if that isn't defined it tries the following editors in order:

["vim", "vi", "emacs", "nano", "pico", "ed"]

###Can I change my editor? To manually set your editor after initialization, supply the name or full path to the executable as follows:

ER.editor = "cli-textmate"

This will create a binding to the function cli-textmate for you to call.

###What REPLs does it work with? Only the default python interpreter. iPython and bPython are confirmed to not work.

##How does it work? Check out the literate code here or clone the repo and checkout out the docs folder.
