Provided you have built the module as a set of functions/classes
then after import you can just call those functions from the shell.

You cannot invoke arbitrary lines of code (as you can in the
Smalltalk workspace for example). Accessing functions etc is
normal practice in the shell so I'm not sure what you are really
asking here?
