Ignore leading '>>>' and ellipsis?

2010-01-14 Thread Reckoner
Hi, I am studying some examples in a tutorial where there are a lot of leading >>> characters and ellipsis in the text. This makes it hard to cut and paste into the IPython interpreter since it doesn't like these strings. Is there another interpreter I could use that will appropriately ignore an

I'm not sure this is possible, but I would like to have a list of objects A=[a,b,c,d,...,z] where, in the midst of a lot of processing I might do something like, A[0].do_something_which_changes_the_properties() which alter the properties of the object 'a'. The trick is that I would like A to
