​Good idea.  It's on my list of things to do immediately.

If the Python console should be used, make it visible in the menu; don't

​Actually, my intention is to make key features visible *directly*, not
just in menus.​

I am going to enable the python_terminal plugin today, in both master and
devel.  Once that is done, the plugin will be visible in the plugins menu *and
in the Log pane*.

Terry and I are debating whether this should be moved to Leo's core, or
remain a plugin.  The issue, I think, is whether any related commands could
be "baked in" to Leo's menus, or created dynamically by the plugin.  I'm
investigating, but there is so much going on right now that it may take a
few days.

Terry and I are also debating whether the valuespace plugin suffices.  Imo,
it does not, precisely because its way-cool features are hidden.  I am
investigating embedding an ipython terminal into Leo. That would make all
of ipython's cool features *visible* as well as available.  There's a big
difference.
