I installed bpython, but found it to be much more CPU intensive than ipython, for working on small machines (like a raspberry pi). Of course it's not a problem if you have a reasonnably decent hardware. Edit: setting auto_display_list to False in ~/.bpython/config (not XDG compliant directory :( ) helps a lot. You can then use completion only when you need it.
