Thanks, I had forgotten that possibility.

Well, I have to say that I'm a bit worried with a current trend on python-dev,
to answer any question about interactive use with pointing to IPython. I *love*
IPython. I'm using it a lot. But sometimes, because of the longer startup time,
or because you want to stay close to "normal" python, you prefer to use the
standard interpreter. And I believe this should really stay an *supported* use.

Of course, on this specific case, I understand a trade-off has to be made.
