Configures your Python shell
============================

**konch** is a CLI and configuration utility for the Python shell, optimized for simplicity and productivity.

- **Automatically import** any object upon startup
- **Simple**, per-project configuration in a single file (it's just Python code)
- **No external dependencies**
- Uses **IPython**, **BPython**, or **ptpython** if available, and falls back to built-in interpreter
- Automatically load **IPython extensions**
- Can have multiple configurations per project using **named configs**

Changelog

3.0.0 (2018-12-22)
------------------

Features:

- Config files must be approved before executing them.
Use ``konch allow`` to authorize a config file. This is a security mechanism to prevent
executing untrusted Python code (:issue:`47`). Thanks :user:`hartwork` for the suggestion.
- Allow customizing the editor to use for ``konch edit`` via the
``KONCH_EDITOR`` environment variable.
- ``konch init`` only adds the encoding pragma (``# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-\n``) on Python 2.
- Raise error when an invalid ``--name`` is passed.

Bug fixes:

- Respect ptpython's user config file (``~/.ptpython/config.py``)
(:issue:`16`). Thanks :user:`nasyxx` for reporting and thanks
:user:`pycadelic` for helping out with the implementation.
