Err... actually, using python-mode is *way* more simple:

[ctrl+c ! to launch the REPL (this splits the frame) if it's not already
running]
[ctrl+x o to go back to the source code buffer]

then

ctrl+c ctrl+c to execute the whole buffer in the REPL
or
select a region then ctrl+c ctrl+l to execute the selected region in the
REPL

Of course, the REPL now reflect any changes made into the source code
buffer (even if changes have not been saved) !-)
