Great.

Actually, currently DreamPie doesn't use PyOS_inputhook, but implements the GUI hooks by itself. So it should be possible to implement wx support if there's a way to handle events for a few milliseconds. I tried it a bit and didn't find how to do it - if you are interested in wx support and think you can help, please do. > Matplotlib does not work interactively for me.

I don't think that's a good idea, because usually double-click selects the word, and I don't want to change that behavior for regular text. You can use ctrl-minus to fold the last output section! > Thanks for making this!!!! Thanks for the feedback! Noam -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
