Thats very encouraging Edward! Today I finally got to the working-testing phase, as soon as it does the intended basics I'll release, looks like half way next week at most =) On Saturday, September 28, 2013 2:17:28 PM UTC+2, Edward K. Ream wrote: > > On Tue, Sep 24, 2013 at 10:36 AM, Fidel N >

Proposal: the --ipython option should inject only a _leo object into the IPython namespace.
