DreamPie: The Python shell you've always dreamed about

"Interrupt the process or kill it - the history is preserved!"<p>That's enough to make me try this.

Is there a download for OS X somewhere?

I'm not seeing much of a win here over emacs's py-shell.

<i>Just run the installer and you should be fine.</i><p>This is the advice under the Windows install section. Unfortunately it's a no go due to a pyGTK dependency - it just errors out completely.<p>(note this is only a 30s try - I will come back and figure out the dependency, but pyGTK under windows isnt a quick fix apparently..... not got the time now)

It looks really cool; if only I could get it working.<p>Anybody else having trouble with the Ubuntu PPA? I can sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dreampie-devel/ppa just fine, but when I do apt-get update, the dreampie stuff comes up 404.

it's the multi-line history that is so XXXing annoying. i use the interpreter quite a bit....unless i need to write multiline for loops.

That is really neat - I just installed it. I don't usually use Python (strongly preferring Ruby) but I want to experiment with Python + AppEngine (I am tired of the hassles with JRuby + AppEngine, and using Java + AppEngine is too easy :-)<p>I installed PyCharm a few hours ago and Dreampie will be good for light weight experiments.

Thanks! A great tool, and a great website promoting it: clean, immediate screenshots showing the pros. And most importantly a quick one click installer to start playing with it.<p>What made we wonder for a while (not reading any helps, of course) is how to enter multi-line code if you want to start with a single statement, but that cleared out after a few tries (enter a black line first).

This literally does look like the shell I've always dreamed about. Experimenting with functions or loops is usually such a pain.

This is EXACTLY like what I wanted to create for the Io language; I wonder how hard it would be to make this work with the Io interpreter instead of Python...

Sweet!<p>I'm working on something like this for Scheme... but it's in Python: an OLPC activity for Lisp development.

How long until there's a yapython?

Not to be off-topic, but is it just me, or is the name a little, well, funny?
