Interactive Python (ipython)

Wow - interactive python seems to have a lot of tools that will make rapid protoyping in python even faster...

It took me 20 seconds to install with kdesu synaptic (debian app mgmt tool).

What else would be cool? Better integration into the OS - so that you could manage processes etc easily. Manage 100 machines as if they were one machine.

So you could do this:

for i in range(500):
mkdir d_${i}_d

and it would execute on n number of machines concurrently.

Other things I would like to do with it is keep a history of every command ever entered (probably configurable). Also I'd like to see a directory of user defined scripts for system mgmt.

Overall very cool tool - and will become part of my toolkit.
