Thinking about some of these discussions, I decided to explore building a Python console app, available as a web page. No sandboxing; it's intended to be run on localhost. It's still pretty rough and doesn't have a ton of neat features. The file management is pretty weak, and doctesting is just stubbed out. Anyway, you can get it with: easy_install HTConsole Then run "htconsole" and a web page should pop up for your interactive pleasure. The ideal is to make Python objects live and editable through the web page. For instance, if you define a function it will be listed with its body in the web page, and you can edit the function in place. Unfortunately it's easy to run out of room, so I might have to explore other ways of displaying information. Also, there's a bunch of problems I've had -- like how to get the body of functions, and how (if it is possible at all) to update a function in place, just to start with. But anyway, with some imagination maybe you can see what's interesting about it, and maybe point out directions for further work that might be more fruitful from your own perspective. -- Ian Bicking | ianb@colorstudy.com | http://blog.ianbicking.org

I really should have tested that install. In this case it needed Cheetah 2.0, but you got 1.0. I updated those and added some more links and tested it out, so now just "easy_install htconsole" really should work (as of version 0.1.1). Well, unless you don't have a recent version of setuptools. For people who don't have that, grab this file: http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py Run that, which will install the newest version of easy_install, run "easy_install htconsole" and you should be good to go. -- Ian Bicking | ianb@colorstudy.com | http://blog.ianbicking.org

I had to do easy_install --upgrade htconsole and it worked (the second time; I had a connection refused the first.) It is very nice!! The interface needs a little be of getting used to for multi-line definitions but it's certainly a good basis to build from. Nice work, Ian!

I've gotten this from time to time as well. Something with how easy_install downloads from SF -- I think it retries when it gets some kinds of failures, but not all, and SF mirrors fail a lot. If you try it once or twice more it'll probably work, or you can download http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=28961&package_id=20864&release_id=391008 And then run "easy_install FileYouJustDownloaded.tar.gz" -- Ian Bicking / ianb@colorstudy.com / http://blog.ianbicking.org
