Python (PyCrust) Shell
This is a python shell (PyCrust) provided with WxPython.
An editing notebook will show up when a Python file is loaded from the 'New' or 'Open' menu.
The 'Run' menu is added for the editor to be able to compile and run the python code.
For the details about the Python, visit the website, http://docs.python.org/tutorial/.
The numpy, scipy, matplotlib, etc. are shipped with the SanView.
However, some functionalities of those packages may or may not work.
The PyCrust includes its own Help menu in the shell window.
Note: Help(), Credits(), ... do not work on MAC.
