While I do love Eclipse as a Python code editor, interactive debugger,
front-end to SVN / Trac, and for many other things... it is
unfortunately terrible as an interactive console.
But then again, despite being a long time Emacs user I never did
anything complex inside Emacs' shell / terminal emulator, instead
preferring a 'real' console using xterm or rxvt or konsole or what
have you.
By the way, so far the only text editing feature from Emacs I am
missing in Eclipse is the ability to reformat line endings - i.e., M-x
fill-paragraph-or-region
