Hello,
I'm absolutely new to Python, just looked at the language description for the
first time. The first thought that came to my mind was whether you can program
in Python in an interactive programming style, i.e. I can change code in the
debugger which becomes immediately effective (no edit-compile loop) and I can
also send messages to objects visible inside the debugger.
Then Python could become my replacemenet for my dearly missed Smalltalk, which
to my great grief meanwhile really has become quite dead, I fear. In Smalltalk
you can open up an inspector window (e.g. you don't have to get into debug
mode), inspect objects in it and evaluate code in it, send messaages to
objects. I guess this cannot be done in Python out of the box. But if changes
made in the debugger became immediately effective, this would be interactive
enough for my purposes.
Thanks, Bienlein
If you are using Windows, PyScripter is a good choice.
I understand that, with Linux, it can also be used with Wine. I haven't
tried that.
