Please don't use "--interp" but "-i" and "--interface" (just provide them after each other). "Interpreter" is misleading as the switch doesn't switch the actual interpreter you're running the Python files with.

Replying to jezdez:

Sure, I will make that change today. I thought while --interp may be less correct technically most people refer to bpython and iPython as python interpreters(Even though they are both just interfaces to the interpreter) so it seemed like a nicer UI.
