Actually, I believe it wouldn't be very difficult to make the pydev
interactive console work with the eclipse environment it's working on,
although I'd need to take a look at it... the only thing is that it wouldn't
have the 'context-insensitive' code-completion (which brings you all the
modules and does the auto-import). Please enter a feature request for
that...
Anyways, right now what I usually do when I want to evaluate something is
using the pydev scripting engine. There are details on how to develop using
it at http://pydev.org/manual_articles_scripting.html .
Cheers,
Fabio
