Pydev shell (was: Re: Stani's python ide 'spe' editor problem)

[Rick King]

I guess this is appropriate to the list... the funky things in eclipse 
that were happening are hard to describe, but first let me say that none 
of the other ide's had any funky things happening so I don't think it 
was my code. That said: I'm working on a command line bulk file renaming 
tool (using cmd.py) in which I can redirect input to a batch file if I 
want to, and redirect output to a file (for testing purposes). Running 
within an eclipse console, I could run through one batch file after 
which input returns to the console, and then try to run through the same 
batch file again by typing in my 'run' command; suddenly it would be as 
if a bunch of the tool's commands were executed having little (but 
something) to do with the batch of commands I just ran, producing a lot 
of output that didn't really make any sense. When I stepped through the 
debugger it got really weird: for example, at one point I went to the 
variables pane and clicked to open 'self' and it was at that moment that 
all this output came through on the console. Absolutely nonsensical.

I'll check out the new stuff for eclipse.
