What amendment do you think should be made to this content, and why?
The current !repl
tag is a big wall of text, which can make it distracting and/or daunting for new users.
To improve it, certain parts of the tag could be cut down as they aren't relevant in most contexts (such as the sections that describe help()
and the -i
flag).
Adding an example like the following would also make it more approachable to new users:
>>> msg = "Hello world!"
>>> print(msg)
Hello world!
>>>
Another issue is this that this tag is often invoked when a user types a command-line command into the REPL, which this tag does not mention at all. This could be addressed in the tag.

Yeah, the current tag isn't great. A PR with improvements / a rewrite would definitely be welcome.
