  Description     : Interactive shell mode with command completion for command-line applications

  This library adds an interactive read-eval-print loop to an existing command-
  line application. 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.
