Hi, I am not familiar with the Python code.interact() thing and what it does so I may be missing something but if you are looking to do debugging is there a reason you can't use a Java debugger to debug your Clojure code? (I have heard some people have had success for JSwat.) I guess that is not the same as having a REPL.
