Hi guys,

Any of you ever embed the Python interpreter into your app? I've done something similar with Tcl before, but never with Python. Was wondering if any of you had feedback on doing it in Python?

Here's what I would like to do. I have a program running, and I would like to be able to telnet to the program, and have it present me with a python shell, where I could view the state of that program's data structures, or perhaps turn debug logging on/off. I've done some searching on the net, but haven't turned up any sort of project similar to this.

Anybody got any ideas?

SupyBot, a python irc bot, has a telnet feature similar to what you speak of, so you may get some ideas there.

What sort of project are you working on?
