Set Substitute

set substitute from-name to-path

Add a substitution rule replacing from-name into to-path in source file names. If a substitution rule was previously set for from-name, the old rule is replaced by the new one.

Spaces in “filenames” like <frozen importlib._bootstrap> messes up our normal shell tokenization, so we have added a hack to ignore <frozen .. >.

So, for frozen files like <frozen importlib._bootstrap>, use importlib._bootstrap

Examples:

set substitute importlib._bootstrap /usr/lib/python3.4/importlib/_bootstrap.py
set substitute ./gcd.py /tmp/gcd.py
