Sorry if my comment with the definition of REPL seemed "viscerally negative". I understand that a good REPL has more features that just the bare bones, but you said that programs that read an input, evaluated it, and then printed the result aren't REPLs. You should've said that they aren't good or useful REPLs. Your argument is the equivalent of saying notepad isn't a text editor because you can't edit multiple lines at once or highlight syntax. Those are features that good text editors have, but it does not mean notepad is not a text editor. |

No it's the equivalent of saying that not even programme that can possibly, technically edit a text file is a text editor.
Python's shell thing is not a REPL.
