Detailed Description

Utilities needed to emulate Python's interactive interpreter.

Function Documentation

def code.interact	(		banner = None,
			readfunc = None,
			local = None
	)

Closely emulate the interactive Python interpreter.

This is a backwards compatible interface to the InteractiveConsole
class.  When readfunc is not specified, it attempts to import the
readline module to enable GNU readline if it is available.

Arguments (all optional, all default to None):

banner -- passed to InteractiveConsole.interact()
readfunc -- if not None, replaces InteractiveConsole.raw_input()
local -- passed to InteractiveInterpreter.__init__()
