Hmm. We currently have the ability to edit/run python scripts in the
gretl gui (with appropriate syntax highlighting) in the same sort of
way as we support Ox programs and R or Octave scripts. As for
providing a "console" (by which I understand an interactive
command-line interface), I'm not sure that is gretl's job.
I was thinking to a console just analogous to what is already present
for R under "Tools -> Start GNU R" (but possibly to be disabled by
default): basically, just call the interpreter and make it load the
series. I would like it a lot - but if that's less trivial than doing a
sort of copypaste from R's case, I perfectly understand that I'm a niche
and this is not urgent.
