Hi,
I'm just learning Rhino and really loving it. I'm a coding kind of person, so am writing Python scripts to do everything I need, with the occasional embedded macro when that seems easier.
The one thing I'm missing is an interactive command line where I could enter any valid python command and have Rhino execute it the way it does python scripts - that's the fun of interpreted languages after all! Especially when in the middle of a debug, it would be great to execute arbitrary commands in that context, without having to [stop script/click OK/make the change/rerun the whole script] that I have to do now.
I want to execute exactly the code that will go into the script, not a macro - essentially looking for a Matlab-like REPL functionality where I can enter some code or for example select a couple of lines from my script file, say 'evaluate' and see the impact of evaluating just those lines immediately.
The best idea of how to get close to that that I could come up with would be automating Rhino from Matlab via the COM interface, so my scripts would actually be Matlab scripts. However that's not exactly pretty.
Attaching a remote python debugger (from a python editor that supports an interactive command line) to Rhino would not help me here, as that can only step through the code that's already running, not interpret new code - is that correct?
Really thankful for any suggestions,
Egor
