There is a python shell plugin for gedit that gives you access to your text document.

If someone could do that for this plugin, i.e. Giving you access to the main tab/window object, that would be seriously cool. Prototyping screen scraping, building easy extentions using python, and hacking a quick change into a website would all be so easy.



That's what I was hoping to find when I saw that link. However, you could probably do something like this. I think two ways to implement this are immediately obvious:

1. Create bookmarklet/extension that injects Silverlight's IronPython. This can already work with live DOM and all you need to do is create a nice REPL.

2. Have pyjamas running in background and compiling Python->Javascript on the fly.
