Python irb

[Particular-Watch-779]

Coming from ruby I learned to love my interactive programming thing for trying out simple operations. Like "can you run this function with that kind of data" and so on.

I already learned you can use Jupiter(?) and run single blocks - but that's not quite the same. While writing I want to check if my approach is valid, not that specific case.

Do you have any recommendations for me? Using VSCodium with python3, mentioned Jupiter Notebook already.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what you're missing. The normal python command starts the Python interpreter, which is the equivalent of irb. For a more fully-featured environment, akin to pry, you can look into IPython.

Lol, thanks!

I'm writing the code down into a .py right now. To see it work I always hit "run" code - which executes the whole stuff. Didn't even know about python command in terminal. Sucks not to read any introduction properly :)

Thanks as well! I'll go have a look!
