Interactive Python shell in Flex

[thijs]

Create a Python shell example similar to this one done with ajax:  http://shell.appspot.com

We also need syntax highlighting with  Pygments.

See ShellExample

Typing Ctrl+[Up] or [Down] should cycle through the history of the statements entered in the input box. Apart from that I think we are good to go, although we need to decide wth to do about 'sensitive' modules or data in the app.

This was fixed in r1241. What is left to do is fixing this example so it's generic and not GAE specific. feisley suggested to copy the python code from the google_appengine folder to the shell/python folder and adapt the code there. Assigning to feisley

As soon as Nick updated the ShellExample page with the additional instructions for setting up the required database stuff this ticket can be closed. Getting this error with the dev server till then:

  File "/Volumes/collab1/Sites/software/django/django/db/backends/dummy/base.py", line 14, in complain
    raise ImproperlyConfigured, "You haven't set the DATABASE_ENGINE setting yet."
ImproperlyConfigured: You haven't set the DATABASE_ENGINE setting yet.

Fixed that error in r1291 but now getting this error during the startup call:

>>> import pyamf
Traceback (most recent call last):

Fixed in r1294.
