console

Runtime embedded interactive python shell, just like IPython.

Windows only. If not windows, console() calls IPython.embed().
Usage: console(globals()) or console({**locals(), **globals()})

Advantages over IPython:

• Lighter. Launches very quickly.
• Other threads can still print things when user is inputting commands
• Tab auto-completes your phrase, even under Windows! (I'm proud.)
• Tired of having to import to test your module everytime you make an edit? restart() is what you need here. Ctrl+R does the same!

Issues:

• Reassigning module global variables will not be visible to module native codes. Sorry.
• For unknown reasons, you cannot declare any name present in kernal.py that is invisible to the env.
• Sometimes inline generator cannot access namespace. I can't stably replicate this issue, and I don't know what this is about.

Fixed Issues:

• If you wanna scroll up, you don't need to input() anymore!
• Multi-line code continuation is implemented!
• If input command is longer than terminal width, camera rolls.

Future:

• Consider adding a dynamic return feature.
• Study passing namespace into exec and evel and use them.
