Sometimes reinteract is best considered a language that integrates well with Python and is a lot like Python but isn’t exactly Python. Some compromises in terms of 100% compatibility with Python have to be made to enable efficiently modifying the end of a worksheet without always re-executing it from the start.

The whole reinteract/matplotlib interact is a pretty complex area; it’s not too surprising that setting different options in the matplotlibrc might produce unexpected results.

Closing this post for further comments.

hey josef,

strange finding.
found another one:
if you set usetex:True in matplotlibrc you wont get axes in reinteract.
maybe you can fix that @ owen.

apart from that, I really like the idea…
greetings from berlin

I liked it and wanted to write some doctests with it until I didn’t get the results that I expected.

try this in reinteract versus python

d=[5, 1]
e=d
d,e
d[0]=6
d,e

I haven’t tried reinteract since your first release/blog post about it. I just tried this new version, and I love it. It’s great to see how well it’s developing on its potential, and I’d even begin to describe it as getting polished .

I hope that some day all python editors include such a repeatable interactive interpreter. Imagine if you had a second pane with a .py file, and the rectangles automatically changed to yellow when you edited any part of the .py which would affect the experiments/tests you had in your reinteract pane. I know that would match how I work very well. In the mean time, being able to work and re-work defs and classes inside reinteract and see what effect that has on the following statements will be very nice, and I can always copy/paste when done.
