It is not actually python that I am most interested in. I'd like this to work for different interactive programs but specifically R, Matlab, and a debugger for Ox. Pexpect seemed to come close to what I wanted but it still seemed very complex and not very well documented (for me anyway). I'd want to have the interactive program open so that I can input things directly and also allow to send commands from vim. I can figure out how to send commands from vim. Just not how to get them to reach the interactive program :) If can figure out how to send commands from the command line (e.g., echo 'x=3') then I'd be pretty much set.
Do you have any very simple examples you might be willing to share?
