using PyShell, or other shells?

I'm interested in trying out shells other than IDLE, and I found
PyShell, but I'm not sure how to get it exactly. Is there a way to get
it without installing wxPython, or is it a part of it? I can't find much
reference to it in any of the manuals at wxpython.org (except for a
brief description of what it is, but not *where* it is or how to use it).

Thanks. And if there are other shells that are newer/better, I'd
appreciate a recommendation.

If you're interested in shell-like capabilities inside a Python
environment, check out IPython: http://ipython.scipy.org.

If you want Python-like capabilities from a traditional shell,
check out osh: http://geophile.com/osh. (Disclaimer: I am the
developer of osh.)

PyShell is, as far as I know, now included only as part of wxPython.
wxPython includes other little apps that embed PyShell in them.

If you do download wxPython to use Pyshell, you may want to download
Lightning Compiler, a little app I wrote that embeds PyShell. It can be
found at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...roup_id=125834
under "lightning" . Others have found it useful :-)

If you are looking for an IDE, you might consider PyScripter.

I like to have unum units imported automatically on my PYTHONSTARTUP since I'm always converting things, and I also like to use pyshell.

Hi everyone, Is it possible to write a Python extension that uses the Boehm garbage collector? I have a C library written that makes use of boehm-gc for memory management.
