I really enjoy bpython as my go-to python repl. Its django support and autocomplete is out of this world and the way it displays doc sections while using functions is really useful. Will take a look and compare ipython 8.0
Yes, bpython is good. I have plans to make the documentation better (https://github.com/jupyter/papyri) but so far I only have a few hours per week I can spend on IPython. Jedi from david halter should also get some love for better completion.
I really wish ipython and bpython would have a baby.
