Well, I'm embedding python in an old C console app. This app uses a lot of ; delimited records.
I want to allow the execution of arbitrary python statements inside some of these records. I was hoping there was an easy way to set the statement terminator. I will simply make up a new terminator and do some string substitution to turn my new terminator into python's ';'.
