REPL in Pythonista?

[michal]

Hi,

I'm currently doing a course teaching programming principles using the Python REPL as a mandatory tool.

I bought Pythonista with the assumption that obviously/surely it had REPL console support seeing how it was a full implementation of Python and could do amazing things! But it appears it does not do this? Is that possible? Or am I overlooking something very obvious?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Michal

Read the docs. The REPL exists. Swipe to the left and type at the bottom of the screen.

@michal Or Try this little script using code

import code

def custom_repl():
    code.interact(banner="Hello michal", local=locals())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    custom_repl()

Type exit() to leave the infinite loop.

Ahh!! Thanks.

I found the console without problems but I totally missed the text entry area right at the bottom of the screen. Guess I expected text entry to be in the console area at the top.

Thanks again!
