(I might look at this)

Hey! can I do some help?

Sure! @5aumy4 this task is to figure out what the s_hist attribute of the Repl class does, and to either add a comment saying what it does or to remove it. Here's where it's defined in the Repl class:

Alright!

@5aumy4 any research findings on this?

Hey @thomasballinger ,
I researched a bit for the problem and then found out that bpython doesn't works for windows, I also tried to install linux on my laptop but I have encountered a few issues in doing so.
So it seems I can't work well on the problem.
And I discovered this a pretty long time ago, just that I forgot to inform you about this(sorry, my bad)
So I can't work on it :( plus I think the problem is too complex for me as I am a beginner.
I hope you find someone better than me to help you out in this.
:)

Thanks for giving it a shot, and I'm sorry bpython didn't work for you on Windows! I've heard good things about Windows Subsystem for Linux and bpython should work there, although there may be a few issues there too.

It looks like s_hist stores formatted inputs and outputs. (formatted as old formatstrings with \x01 \x02 \x03 and \x04)

here's a bpython-curses session:

and here's the associated s_hist values:

It's used by redraw() in cli.py to recreate the screen when the window is resized. It doesn't seem to be used at all in urwid.py despite being appended to in a few spots throughout.

Side note: Maybe the s in s_hist refers to the variable self.s, which seems to be cli.py's not-very-well-named equivalent of self.current_line in repl.py.

I'll make a PR to add a comment or two and remove it in those unused places. Maybe also rename it.

Resolved with PR #842!
