As I understand it, using IPython (or otherwise changing the interactive mode) works fine *if* you just want a point solution -- get something up in some environment chosen by the developer. Michiel is looking to create a component that will work in whatever environment the *user* chooses. Telling users "you must go through this particular interface" is not acceptable. Therefore, IPython is only a workaround, not a solution. On the other hand, IPython is clearly a *good* workaround. The dance described in http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-November/058057.html is short enough that a real solution might well be built on IPython; it just isn't quite done yet. -jJ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
