Well, that's the thing -- type a statement into a python interpreter and you just get a new prompt. LISP has a REPL, so you get some sort of feedback printed. However, some sort of visual cue on the emacs side would be nice. Either just flash the block of code being sent or a minibuffer message would be nice. Look for some SLIME tutorial videos on youtube to see some great interpreter <-> editor interaction. The stock Python interpreter probably wouldn't cut it close to something like SLIME in terms of features, but the iPython package might be a start. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
