Thanks for the replies guys.
I tried the solution below and it works in some cases. But a strange thing
is (remember I'm a newbie) that if I first type, for example a=1 in the
"inputBox" and then hit enter, the debugger goes down to exec
root.inputBox.Text and nothing is reported so I assume the statement is
executed correctly.
But if I next time type print a in the "inputBox" the debugger goes down to
exec root.inputBox.Text again but now an exception is raised: "name 'a' is
not defined". Why is that??? I typed a=1!
You've snipped the code so I can't see it exactly, but I'm pretty sure
you are doing this inside a method. This will create a new 'scope' every
time you enter the method and so you are creating a local variable that
disappears when you exit the method.
When you exec you can provide a dictionary as a context for the
execution to happen in. If you store this as an instance member and
re-use the same execution context every time then changes will be
'remembered'.

Thanks!

This is just a Python issue (not specific to IronPython).
exec is used for statement(s) and eval() for expressions. You might have
to:
try:
eval(root.inputBox.Text)
except:
exec root.inputBox.Text
