Do you want a custom shell that does whatever you want? Or do you want an interactive python shell that has some custom commands? For the first check out the cmd module http://docs.python.org/lib/module-cmd.html example: >>> import cmd >>> class MyCmd(cmd.Cmd): ... def do_echo(self, params): ... print params ... >>> MyCmd().cmdloop() (Cmd) echo Hello World Hello World (Cmd) help Undocumented commands: ====================== echo help For the second, check out the code module http://docs.python.org/lib/module-code.html example: >>> import code >>> def foo(): ... print "hello, this is foo" ... >>> code.interact("Welcome to my python shell!", local={'bar':foo}) Welcome to my python shell! >>> bar() hello, this is foo >>> Hope this helps, Matt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
