"""A generic class to build line-oriented command interpreters. Interpreters constructed with this class obey the following conventions: 1. End of file on input is processed as the command 'EOF'. 2. A command is parsed out of each line by collecting the prefix composed of characters in the identchars member. 3. A command `foo' is dispatched to a method 'do_foo()'; the do_ method is passed a single argument consisting of the remainder of the line. 4. Typing an empty line repeats the last command. (Actually, it calls the method `emptyline', which may be overridden in a subclass.) 5. There is a predefined `help' method. Given an argument `topic', it calls the command `help_topic'. With no arguments, it lists all topics with defined help_ functions, broken into up to three topics; documented commands, miscellaneous help topics, and undocumented commands. 6. The command '?' is a synonym for `help'. The command '!' is a synonym for `shell', if a do_shell method exists. The `default' method may be overridden to intercept commands for which there is no do_ method. The data member `self.ruler' sets the character used to draw separator lines in the help messages. If empty, no ruler line is drawn. It defaults to "=". If the value of `self.intro' is nonempty when the cmdloop method is called, it is printed out on interpreter startup. This value may be overridden via an optional argument to the cmdloop() method. The data members `self.doc_header', `self.misc_header', and `self.undoc_header' set the headers used for the help function's listings of documented functions, miscellaneous topics, and undocumented functions respectively. These interpreters use raw_input; thus, if the readline module is loaded, they automatically support Emacs-like command history and editing features.
