[PyCrust] Smart cut/copy/paste

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

The CVS version of PyCrust now has basic "smart" cut/copy/paste!!!

I'll add a few more bells and whistles, but the current implementation has
most of what you might want. What might that be? Well, all calls to
cut/copy/paste are intercepted and translated to deal with line endings,
secondary prompts, etc. For example, that means you can copy a function
definition from a source file and paste it into the PyCrust shell and the
line endings (of any style) will convert to os.linesep + sys.ps2. Likewise,
commands selected in the shell will be stripped of their secondary prompts
so you can paste them into a source file or email without having to delete
all the "... " prefixes.

What I intend to add next is a way to control whether or not to strip out
the prompts when you cut or copy. I'd like to make this work with the
default keybindings for cut and copy, so one idea I had was that if the
selection *included* the primary prompt ">>> ", then all the secondary
prompts would be left intact. If the selection did *not* include the primary
prompt, then all the secondary prompts would be stripped out. Does that
sound like a reasonable feature?

Once again, I invite you to sample our latest creation and give it a nibble.
