Pure Python embedded console

Hi, are there any plans to have a pure python2.7 embedded console? The current one has iPython which isn't great for teaching people Python. I'm working on a Python training slide deck in reveal.js (I'm planning to open source this) and would really love the option of either a bash console, python2.7 console, or the ability to embed one of my own consoles so I can utilize the exercise files in my account.

Currently we don't offer any official ways to do that.

However, unofficially, I could suggest taking a look at how python.org serves up our pure python2.7 consoles...

Maybe I'm missing something... python.org only serves up python3 shells. Do you have a link to a python.org page that shows a 2.7 shell?

Ah- I missed that python3/python2 part. In that case there is currently no good way of getting a python2.7 console instead of an ipython2.7 console. Is there anything in particular you don't like about ipython? (isn't it just a better python repl?)

also- python2.7 will be deprecated soon! use python3 :D
