Puzzling! I tried that old piece of crappy code that I wrote, and was
very surprised to find that it still runs. I can run '!pdflatex' and get
immediate interaction with the spawned program (I remember that achieving
this was hard), however I can also confirm that when I spawn a Python
process, things don't go well (try simply '!python'): synchronous display
doesn't work.
I have no clue why this is the case, and it's certainly not worth wasting
time investigating this if you have a better option (and it looks like
you do).
Thanks for your (collective 'your') efforts on IPython. It is really
starting to look good in terms of providing the basis for a scientific
IDE.
