cmd2 0.3.6

Extra features for standard library's cmd module

Enhancements for standard library’s cmd module.

Drop-in replacement adds several features for command-prompt tools:

• Searchable command history (commands: “hi”, “li”, “run”)

• Load commands from file, save to file, edit commands in file

• Multi-line commands

• Case-insensitive commands

• Special-character shortcut commands (beyond cmd’s “@” and “!”)

• Settable environment parameters

• Parsing commands with flags

• > (filename), >> (filename) redirect output to file

• < (filename) gets input from file

• bare >, >>, < redirect to/from paste buffer

Useable without modification anywhere cmd is used; simply import cmd2.Cmd in place of cmd.Cmd.
