bpython and multiple python versions
------------------------------------
To use bpython with multiple version items this trick has been relayed
to us by Simon Liedtke.
Do a source checkout of bpython and add the following to your `.profile`
equivalent file.
.. code-block:: bash
alias bpython2.6='PYTHONPATH=~/python/bpython python2.6 -m bpython.cli'
Where the `~/python/bpython`-path is the path to where your bpython source code
resides.
You can of course add multiple aliases, so you can run bpython with 2.6, 2.7
and the 3 series.
.. note::
Make sure you have the dependencies installed on all Python versions.
