I'm trying, with no success, to place a shell python interpreter in a split window.
To wit-while in a Vim session, I'll enter ':split', and then attempt to invoke a shell in one of the two windows ':!' such that I can have an interpreter in half of my screen, and a python script in the other half. My ultimate goal, of course, would be to grab successful code from the interpreter 'half', and place it into the python script. Should this be an obvious endeavor to me? No luck so far.
