REPL behaviour in MayaSublime

[ESNV]

Hi,

Would it be possible to mimic in MayaSublime some of the REPL that exists in Maya's Script Editor?

For example, after first executing an assignment:
foo = 'bar'
then by highlighting and running only the "foo" part get:
'bar'
as the output/result, instead of having to do:
print(foo)

Cheers!
Lalo.

Sure. This can probably be implemented by using python's ast module, and parsing the selected code to see if its a single expression:

import ast

# ok: Wrap it in a   print (text)
ast.parse('x+1', mode='eval')

# not expression: raises exception
ast.parse('x=x+1', mode='eval')
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

# not expression: raises exception
ast.parse('x=0; x+=1; print x', mode='eval')
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
