1 """A generic class to build line-oriented command interpreters.
3 Interpreters constructed with this class obey the following conventions:
5 1. End of file on input is processed as the command 'EOF'.
6 2. A command is parsed out of each line by collecting the prefix composed
7 of characters in the identchars member.
8 3. A command `foo' is dispatched to a method 'do_foo()'; the do_ method
9 is passed a single argument consisting of the remainder of the line.
10 4. Typing an empty line repeats the last command. (Actually, it calls the
11 method `emptyline', which may be overridden in a subclass.)
12 5. There is a predefined `help' method. Given an argument `topic', it
13 calls the command `help_topic'. With no arguments, it lists all topics
14 with defined help_ functions, broken into up to three topics; documented
15 commands, miscellaneous help topics, and undocumented commands.
16 6. The command '?' is a synonym for `help'. The command '!' is a synonym
17 for `shell', if a do_shell method exists.
19 The `default' method may be overridden to intercept commands for which there
22 The data member `self.ruler' sets the character used to draw separator lines
23 in the help messages. If empty, no ruler line is drawn. It defaults to "=".
25 If the value of `self.intro' is nonempty when the cmdloop method is called,
26 it is printed out on interpreter startup. This value may be overridden
27 via an optional argument to the cmdloop() method.
29 The data members `self.doc_header', `self.misc_header', and
30 `self.undoc_header' set the headers used for the help function's
31 listings of documented functions, miscellaneous topics, and undocumented
32 functions respectively.
34 These interpreters use raw_input; thus, if the readline module is loaded,
35 they automatically support Emacs-like command history and editing features.
