29. Custom Python Interpreters

The modules described in this chapter allow writing interfaces similar to Python’s interactive interpreter. If you want a Python interpreter that supports some special feature in addition to the Python language, you should look at the code module. (The codeop module is lower-level, used to support compiling a possibly-incomplete chunk of Python code.)

The full list of modules described in this chapter is:

• 29.1. code — Interpreter base classes
  • 29.1.1. Interactive Interpreter Objects
  • 29.1.2. Interactive Console Objects
• 29.2. codeop — Compile Python code
