First of all : ALL what you've said is of big help to me! And I thank you
for that.

OK, maybe you're right.

It is important to me to have very interactive display.
So the display is constantly accessing the kernel data... I don't think your
solution would work.

You mean use it directly within a wx main loop right ?

Yes I got that already, however how do I redirect output ?

OK.
For complete : it actually does exactly what happens when I hit the tab key
on the ipython console ?
How do I manage multiple lines command ?
Le me be clear : how do I know a command is not complete  so I should print
a prompt with a tab ?
Is there a method that deals with managing all that for me ?
