I usually get the feel of an API or new module first in the shell, and then I can write code in my editor. I could give a talk on using an interactive shell to debug code and explore modules, in particular IPython but the the approach would be similar with others like IDLE or python or bpython. I introduced my work mentor to it, a purist with a mechanical keyboard tailored for vim use, and since then he has been using ipython on most of our Python-based work projects. If that's not a stunning recommendation, I don't know what is one.<br>
<br></div>Let's call the talk "Getting a feel for the code" and in it I will talk about using Python REPL shells including python, IPython, and bpython. I'll talk about getting access to a Python REPL quickly and easily when in need, to appeal to a wider audience. Perhaps you see something interesting on Github and you want to see how it would work, but you're not a programmer yet and/or don't have a Python environment at your fingertips. I'll talk about PythonAnywhere, along with a blurb about getting an EC2 instance going. Could I use your code, Carl, as an example in the presentation?<br>
