Attaching to a Python Interpreter a la Tcl

[DE]

Hello,

Some long time ago, I used to use Tcl/Tk. I had an tcl embedded into my
app.

The coolest thing was however, I was able to attach to the interpreter
(built in to my app) via a tcl shell in which I could type in regular
tcl code which would be interpreted by the interpreter of my
application. Naturally, it was possible to call tcl functions of my
applications.

Some kind of rapid RPC.

Is this also possible with python ?

Thanks,
