I've added a couple more features, and merged some code with John. So, now I have a PyConsole control that can be used in any application to get a interactive python console. PyExpr, which allows for attributes to be set to python expression (<Button Content="{PyExpr 4+4}" />). And PyScript which I've been showing at length here.

Yesterday I decided to actually write something usefull with this. With about 161 lines total (about 80 python, 80 xaml) I wrote a class browser, complete with filtering! Having interactive scripting (no F5, no refresh, nothing!) is amazingly productive. I wouldn't want to build a big application using this stuff, but for glueing together other components, this is such a slick model.

Probably the neatest python feature used, list filtering:

allprops = [pi for pi in t.GetProperties() if pi.Name.Contains(_filter.Text)]

Also ran into a nasty Avalon layout bug that i'll have to have someone look at on monday. The scrollviewer just seems to not want to cooporate with my layout.
