<p>Python docstrings are textual information about objects. They can be displayed via help(obj). However, they can not contain images.

The images are indicated as "docpicture = file_name.ext" inside the docstring, and the encoded data is in variable "file_name" inside the same module.</p>

<p>I find that I often want to test some small code samples, too long to type at the interpreter (and retype, with some small changes), but not worth saving. The following wxPython based mini-app implements the basic for a small Python editor with a side output window. It also handles input() and raw_input().</p>
