Description krjacks1 2009-09-09 19:12:57 UTC 
Great work on the python support! I've only recently started using it, and I am very impressed. I do have a feature request though. 

It would be really great to be able to use IPython (http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/) as the console interpreter. IPython was written originally to address many of 
the  shortcomings of the standard python interactive shell. It supports command history, syntax highlighting, and numerous  other features that make it 
much nicer to work in.

That would be a nice enhancement. Leaving this open.
