Custom Python startup script enables the interactive interpreter to support tab and delete keys

python2.7 starts the Python interpreter requires the Shift+del key to delete, does not support the BACKSPACE key, does not support tab completion. It is very inconvenient to use it anyway. Solving this problem can be solved by specifying a python startup script.

First step: Add Pythonstartup Environment variables

echo "Export pythonstartup= $HOME/.pythonstartup" >>/etc/profile

Step two: Create a. Pythonstartup script

Cat >> $HOME/.pythonstartup <<eofimport rlcompleterimport readlinereadline.parse_and_bind ("Tab:complete ") EOF

Step three: Make the environment variable effective

Source/etc/profile

Fourth Step: Test

Start the Python interpreter

Python

If the prompt does not have a ReadLine module, install it

Pip Install ReadLine

After testing, TAB and BACKSPACE are working properly.
