You can write a simple paste() function. For example: import sys paste = lambda: exec(sys.stdin.read(), globals()) >>> paste() class Foo: """test class""" def spam(self): '''test method''' return 'eggs' >>> Foo().spam() 'eggs' In a Unix terminal and IDLE, stdin.read() is terminated by typing Ctrl+D at the start of an empty line. For the Windows console, it's Ctrl+Z, Enter. Actually in a Unix terminal the cursor can also be at the end of a line, but a bug in Python requires pressing Ctrl+D twice in that case. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
