How about replacing the code.interact() call in py.py with... from IPython import embed embed(user_global_ns=self.variables) ?
(And then just running POX with py as usual -- not using ipython to run it.) As a starting point, anyway. I'm not sure of the semantics for user_global_ns are exactly right here. We could add an --ipython argument to launch() which tries to do this and falls back if it's unavailable. -- Murphy On Nov 17, 2014, at 9:24 AM, Alison Chan <chan7...@kettering.edu> wrote: > ipython pox.py 'works' as in pox starts up, but doesn't give me the > nice features of ipython like object? for object details.
