Hello, I just start learning Python (ordered "Dive into Python" a week ago).
In the past I have used the Python interactive interpreter for some calculations instead of Linux command line tools like "bc" or "calc". I wonder if it is possible to do a pre-processing of command strings in the interactive interpreter. (Not that I really need it, and currently my Python skills are far away to manage this hack. But I am curious -- did some Google search yesterday, but did not find an answer. Yes, an extended interpreter called IPython exists -- this one seems to have this functionality, and I may use this one later.) It is possible to convert input in this form (input hook?): My custom input format: >>> b := 10a + 0,1 Format send to interpreter after preprocessing: >>> b = 10*a + 0.1 Best regards Stefan Salewski -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
