Hi, I'm having a go at using ipython as a command prompt for data analysis. Coming from Matlab, I'm used to typing multiple commands on the same line then using the up arrow to go through my history. How can I write multiple python commands on the same line? E.g. "x = 0; while x < 10: x = x + 1;" returns an "invalid syntax" error on the 'e' in while.
Also, how can I produce a new line, without it running the command? I would have expected a ctrl-enter or shift-enter to produce the expected results. E.g. I want: "x = 0; <ctrl-enter> while x < 10: <ctrl-enter> x = x + 1; <ctrl-enter> " <enter to run> It seems to work automatically for the "while xxx:", but combinations of keys+enter do not work for "normal" lines.
