Hi everyone,
After having used Python on Linux for some time, I now have to do
Python coding on Windows. I am big fan of the interactive Python shell
to test, eg, regexps.
Is there an interactive Python shell on Windows that supports:
- easy copy-pasting to/from an editor? (as opposed to the cumbersome
"mark", "copy" and then "paste" sequence that any terminal on Windows
seems forced to adopt)
- readline-like command history (up/down for previous/next command,
Ctr-R for searching, etc) ?
I have tried the python.org shell (difficult copy-pasting),
ActiveState's (no readline command history) and iPython (difficult
copy-pasting). Do you know of any decent interactive python shell on
Windows that comes close to the friendliness of the standard one on
Linux?
Hi James,
It sounds like a decent Editor/IDE would also fit this problem. Most
modern Python IDE's can provide a Python interactive shell session as
part of the editor with nice readline, copy/paste support:

Komodo IDE for example, comes with a nice regex helper tool for testing
regular expressions... so there isn't as much of a need for the
interactive shell when creating/testing regular expressions:

Cheers,
