Hi,
If you insist on writing your own shell, you can also consider running
the commands in another python process.
I took the source code of Pype as an example, which uses a wx.Process.
I've tried the subprocess module as well, but could not get it to work.

Thanks for the tip; I hadn't heard of ipython before. I will
certainly check it out. However, if anyone knows how to break out of
the interactive interpreter from another thread, I'd still very much
like to hear about it. :)

The whole point is that I *don't* want to write my own shell, I want to
use the Python interactive shell (iPython, while very neat, is overkill
for this purpose, and an extra dependency).
I use subprocess regularly, but it doesn't work in this case because (a)
the point of using an interactive interpreter is so that I can interact
with the job *while it's running* and (b) I *still* wouldn't be able
exit the interactive shell cleanly (I'd have to look up the PID and kill
it via the shell -- very ugly and not portable).
