Add auto save and restore for config options #531

Open bulletmark opened 1 year ago

bulletmark commented 1 year ago

Fixes issue #232 and #339. Seems very odd to a new user that ptpython does not save the options the user sets via the nice F2 menu so this PR adds that feature.

The ptpython settings are saved at ~/.config/config.json and the ptipython settings are saved at ~/.config/ipython-config.json. Only settings that are different from default are saved and the values are pruned each time to ensure that any old config values are removed. Any config.py, if present, re-defines the user's default.

I've been careful in the way I have designed this change and to keep it very generic so please ask questions here if you think something looks odd.

Thanks, I'll look into this soon. Maybe I'll end up cherry-picking changes from here. This is a great start.
