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. Colin W.
