Other repl =========== Most REPL handle tracebacks in their own ways. When that is the case, friendly cannot be "installed". If you still wish to use friendly, you can start its console within a given REPL, using:: >>> from friendly import start_console >>> start_console() Future work ------------ .. todo:: Determine if there would be interest in integrating friendly with `ptpython `_. This might perhaps be done by monkey-patching `_handle_exception `_ or by having ptpython's developer enable custom ``sys.excepthook``.
