Here you have a little PyQt Python shell (can be integrate in any application),
called PyCute. It is still in the proof of concept stage, but it works
with some limitations.

Cut&paste from PyCute follows:
  
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Aug 28 2002, 08:16:58)
[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (release)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from Numeric import *
>>> from plot import *
>>> x = arange(-2*pi, 2*pi, 0.01)
>>> y1 = sin(x)
>>> y2 = cos(x)
>>> c1 = Curve(x, y1, red, "sin(x)")
>>> c2 = Curve(x, y2, blue, "cos(x)")
>>> p = Plot(title="Plot generated from PyCute", curves=[c1, c2])
>>>

It initializes x-axis data from -2*pi to 2*pi with steps of 0.01 and
calculates the sine and cosine.

The plot module is sugar coating for my wrappers of the Qwt C++ library.
The curves c1 and c2 have x-data, y-data, color and a legend label
The last statement creates a plot and shows it.

Screenshots are included in the tarball

Regards Gerard.

PS: PyCute needs still quite a lot of work. You can steal ideas from
PyShell.py (the idle environment that uses Tkinter), code.py (the Python
library) and eric (PyQt's debugger).
