(name may still change.)
A Python repl that replicates the interactive behavior of the Pyzo IDE, but even better.
Can be used to run Python scripts (doing pyterm myscript.py instead of python pyscript.py)
allowing one to interact with the application while its running, and after it's done. But
also as a VSCode extension, to have that nice interactive (Matlab-like) feeling. Might
become a new kernel for Pyzo too.
Automatically hooks onto a wide variety of event loops. The type of GUI integration does not have to be chosen beforehand, because pyterm detects when a new loop is entered, and attaches to it so it remains interactive.
Superb debugging as in Pyzo (postmortem, via breakpoint(), and via breakpoints in the IDE).
A few convenience additional commands, for running code, inspecting variables, etc.
IDE's can communicate with process to e.g. run code, acquire autocompletion lists, workspace variables, etc.
- Loop detection and hooking works for asyincio, proving the concept.
- REPL is copied from Pyzo, but rather a mess.
- Prompt does not work yet.
Next up should be the prompt, how to detect keystrokes like tab, how it can integrate with VSCode.
