[IPython-user] IPython within wxshell

[Tom Denniston]

Has anyone had any success with IPython within pycrust or the wx pyshell.

I tried the very naive:

sh = Instance(IPython.Shell.IPythonShellEmbed)
sh = IPython.Shell.IPythonShellEmbed()
sh (['-pylab'])



within the enthought pyface shell.  I also tried
Shell.IPShellMatplotlibWX.  Both start IPython but the escape
characters for colors don't get interpretted colors.  If I turn the
colors off I get some working Ipython behavior, but most behavior
doesn't work.  Tab completion doesn't work and command history, for
instance do not work.

Moreover the standard output of command like help seems to go to my
text console rather than the wx shell console.

Has anyone gotten this combination to work?  Are there any wx related
examples or wiki pages?  I noticed one on open gl and another on
pygtk--both in the cookbook but nothing on wx.

Is there a reasonably easy way to do this now or is this something
that ipython does not yet support?
