SublimeREPL for SublimeText2

Features

• Run your favorite interpreter [python, ruby, lua, prolog :)] or Telnet session to an external tool (MozRepl) inside a Sublime buffer.
• Use ALT+P & ALT+N (Ctrl+P & Ctrl+N on OSX) to access command history.

License and Price

I'm happy to release SublimeREPL's code under a permissive BSD License.

However, if SublimeREPL helps you earn money, you should feel morally obligated to **Donate**. Pick whatever price you think is right.

Compatibility

SublimeREPL is developed against the latest SublimeText2 development build (2112) on Windows 7 x64. It is also periodically tested on OSX 10.6.8 and Debian 6.0.2.

Installation

Use Package Control.

• DON'T* install directly from Github unless you want to do some development. However if you wish to manually place SublimeREPL inside your Packages, please use one of the tagged versions instead of most recent code.

Documentation

Several REPLs are available in Tools | SublimeREPL menu. Those can be configured in Packages\SublimeREPL\Main.sublime-menu.

If you wish to have more control over the launched process/telnet session use *repl_open* command. For example:

Subprocess REPL for Python

{{{ {"command": "repl_open", "caption": "Python", "mnemonic": "p", "args": { "type": "subprocess", "encoding": "utf8", "cmd": ["python", "-i"], "cwd": "$file_path", "syntax": "Packages/Python/Python.tmLanguage", "external_id": "python" } } }}}

Telnet REPL for MozRepl

{"command": "repl_open", 
                 "caption": "MozRepl",
                 "mnemonic": "m",
                 "args": {
                    "type": "telnet",
                    "encoding": "utf8",
                    "host":"localhost",
                    "port": 4242,
                    "syntax": "Packages/JavaScript/JavaScript.tmLanguage"
                    }
                }

Common REPL attributes:

• type (mandatory): type of repl that will be spawned, "telnet" or "subprocess"
• encoding (mandatory): what encoding will the spawned REPL use
• cmd_postfix (optional, default: "\n"): command is evaluated when you press enter at the end of a buffer, cmd_postfix allows you to automatically append some kind of postfix before it happens. For example use ";\n " to end each line with a semicolon.
• syntax (optional): syntax file to use for a newly created sublime view
• external_id (optional): allows you to specify a string that will allow you to get a handle for spawned REPL later

Subprocess REPL attributes:

• cmd (mandatory): command to spawn, see subprocess module documentation for details
• env (optional): dictionary defining the environment variables for the spawned process,
• cwd (optional): working directory for a spawned process
• extend_env (optional): environment variables that will be appended to the env inherited from the current process

Telnet REPL attributes:

• host (mandatory):
• port (mandatory):

FAQ

1. Is this a terminal emulator?

No.

2. I tried to launch an interpreter for [my-favorite-language], but it didn't work.

Because SublimeREPL does not emulate a terminal environment some (all?) interpreters spawn in non-interactive mode by default. You should force your interpreter to launch in a interactive mode using a command flag (usually "-i").
