It wraps the top-level command collection so that, when the program is launched without arguments, a persistent prompt is presented and commands can be entered repeatedly. Tab-completion is available for registered commands, and the prompt text and an optional introductory message can be configured. When a command is invoked directly on the command line with arguments, behaviour matches the original non-interactive application. The shell reads from the terminal, writes to the console, and uses line-editing features provided by the host system to offer history and completion. I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python team.
