Native Tab REPL (urepl)

A lightweight, zero-dependency alternative configuration for the standard interactive Python shell.

Why native-tab-repl?

Unlike massive REPL alternatives that require heavy third-party dependency trees (and add latency to your terminal load times), native-tab-repl relies entirely on pure Python built-in modules.

Key Features

• 🚀 Zero Dependencies: Pure vanilla Python under the hood. No bloated installation footprint.
• ⌨️ Cross-Platform Tab Completion: Seamless auto-completion out of the box using native readline on Unix systems and pyreadline3 hooks automatically configured on Windows platforms.
• 🖥️ System Insights: Instantly greets you with environment context (OS type, active user, node host identity) via a custom shell banner.

Installation

pip install native-tab-repl

Quick Start

Once installed, simply run the custom terminal entry point command to start your session:

urepl

Exit

Type exit() or quit() to drop out cleanly.
