Thanks for bringing this up again. I think it should be called sys.displayhook.
That should be the easy part -- I'll do it as soon as I'm home.
The default could be something like
import __builtin__ import sys # Sorry, I couldn't resist def displayhook(obj): if obj is None: return __builtin__._ = obj sys.stdout.write("%s\n" % repr(obj))
This brings up a painful point -- the reason I haven't wrote the default
is because it was way much easier to write it in Python. Of course, I
shouldn't be preaching Python-is-easier-to-write-then-C here, but it
pains me Python cannot be written with more Python and less C.
A while ago we started talking about the mini-interpreter idea, which
would then freeze Python code into itself, and then it sort of died out.
What have become of it?
