Executing python code from script and getting interpreter-style output

Question

I need to execute code from my python script and take interpreter-style output like it's done here.

I am creating website on GAE using django, it must run user-entered code and print interpreter-style output as text.

Is there a specific problem that you are having that you need help with? — Adam Crossland

What context are you doing this? From the command line you do python script >log. Are you writing a desktop application, like IDLE? Are you creating a web site that runs Python code? What are you talking about? — S.Lott

I am creating website on GAE using django, it must run dynamic code and print interpreter-style output. How can I take interpreter-style output if I have code in a string form? — Dmitry Demidenko

there is code.InteractiveInterpreter available, but I think you can take an inspiration in the following simpler example:

import code

exprs = [
    'd = {}',
    'd',
    'd["x"] = 1',
    'd',
   ]

for e in exprs:
    print '>>> %s' % e
    cmd = code.compile_command(e)
    r = eval(cmd)
    if r:
        print repr(r)

producing the following output:

>>> d = {}
>>> d
{}
>>> d["x"] = 1
>>> d
{'x': 1}

There is an open-source console for app engine that does what you want (if I understood the question correctly). Have a look at it: http://con.appspot.com/console/

Instructions to integrate it with your application are available here.
