REPL UX: `vi`-bindings not working anymore, dependency update issue?

I pinned to the master branch a while back after reporting https://github.com/pdbpp/pdbpp/issues/480 and i swear everything was originally working great, but oddly now I can’t seem to get reliable controls working again every time the repl enters?

I feel like i experienced this before and it was something to do with updating pyrepl and/or fancycompleter…

I noticed https://github.com/pdbpp/pdbpp/issues/260 which mentions both deps and am wondering if anyone else has noticed the same.

This is pretty frustrating for meeself since i prefer not to move my hands around the keyboard alot 😂

Bleh, figured it out.

Env was pinned to pyrepl=0.8.5.dev53+gca192a8 for some weird reason, not sure if this was due to installing from master at some point?

Anyway upgrading to 0.9.0 seems to put everything back as it should 😂

Will test a bit if and if all good will close this.

Also is this bit out of date?

If you are using Python 3, pyrepl does not work, and thus is not installed. Your only option to get colors is to use a patched readline, as explained below.

Yes.

I think you should create a PR/patch for pyrepl. (If I understood it correctly it lacks bindings that readline has.)
