arg_spec
^^^^^^^^
Display the arg spec (list of arguments) for callables, when possible (default: True).

hist_file
^^^^^^^^^
History file (default: ``~/.pythonhist``).

paste_time
^^^^^^^^^^
The time between lines before pastemode is activated in seconds (default: 0.02).

hist_length
^^^^^^^^^^^
Number of lines to store in history (set to 0 to disable) (default: 100)

tab_length
^^^^^^^^^^
Soft tab size (default 4, see pep-8)

pastebin_url
^^^^^^^^^^^^
The pastebin url to post to (without a trailing slash). This pastebin has
to be a pastebin which uses LodgeIt. Examples are: http://paste.pocoo.org/xmlrpc/ and
http://bpaste.net/xmlrpc/ (default: http://bpaste.net/xmlrpc/)

pastebin_private
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If the pastebin supports a private option to make a random paste id, use it.
Default: True).

.. versionadded:: 0.12

pastebin_show_url
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The url under which the new paste can be reached. ``$paste_id`` will be
replaced by the ID of the new paste. Examples are: http://bpaste.net/show/$paste_id/
and http://paste.pocoo.org/show/$paste_id/ (default: http://bpaste.net/show/$paste_id/)

pastebin_helper
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The name of a helper executable that should perform pastebin upload on bpython's
behalf. If set, this overrides `pastebin_url`. It also overrides `pastebin_show_url`,
as the helper is expected to return the full URL to the pastebin as the first word of
its output. The data is supplied to the helper via STDIN.

An example helper program is ``pastebinit``, available for most systems. The
following helper program can be used to create `gists <http://gist.github.com>`_:

.. code-block:: python

  #!/usr/bin/env python

  import sys
  import urllib2
  import json

  def do_gist_json(s):
      """ Use json to post to github. """
      gist_public = False
      gist_url = 'https://api.github.com/gists'

      data = {'description': None,
              'public': None,
              'files' : {
                  'sample': { 'content': None }
              }}
      data['description'] = 'Gist from BPython'
      data['public'] = gist_public
      data['files']['sample']['content'] = s

      req = urllib2.Request(gist_url, json.dumps(data), {'Content-Type': 'application/json'})
      try:
          res = urllib2.urlopen(req)
      except HTTPError, e:
          return e

      try:
          json_res = json.loads(res.read())
          return json_res['html_url']
      except HTTPError, e:
          return e

  if __name__ == "__main__":
    s = sys.stdin.read()
    print do_gist_json(s)

.. _configuration_color_scheme:

color_scheme
^^^^^^^^^^^^
See :ref:`themes` for more information.

Color schemes should be put in ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/``

e.g to use the theme ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/foo.theme`` set ``color_scheme = foo``

If you set the colorscheme to `foo` this will be translated to 
``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/foo.theme`` so be sure to put the file in that directory.

Leave blank or set to "default" to use the default (builtin) theme.

flush_output
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Whether to flush all output to stdout on exit (default: True).

Keyboard
--------
This section refers to the ``[keyboard]`` section in your ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/config``.

You can set various keyboard shortcuts to be used by bpython. However, we have yet to map all keys
to their respective control codes. If you configure a key combination which is not yet supported
by bpython it will raise an exception telling you the key does not exist in bpython.keys.

Valid keys are:

* Control + any alphanumeric character (C-a through A-z, also a few others).
* Any function key ranging from F1 to F12.
