Add ability to change "-- more --" text in pager module #74629
Comments
Need ability to change the text |
Can you please explain why you need to change the --more-- text in the pager? I haven't been able to find any way to change the "--more--" prompt in the shell commands |
While i was working on one of my personal project i thought of using pager module for piping the output in the terminal, please see the issue: Adding ability to modify "-- more --" (statically specified text will allow us to change its value to something like "- Press enter to see more..." or any other value... |
pydoc.pager() is not a public API. This is an internal function of the pydoc module. The stdlib does not have a benefit from adding this feature. |
Yes even if it was built for PyDoc why cant we can extend its functionality to make it work with others too, Without breaking its current functionality... |
My preference is to keep pydoc focused on its primary task. This proposal seems like "feature creep" and the benefit is of questionable importance. |
Thank you! closing this due to inncativity.. |
