and so i answered in python...

seriously, embedded calc mode is not mathematica's notebooks but is
usable for doing "live maths" in a text buffer

sorry... otoh, vim is scriptable in python. i know less than nothing
on this subject but i'd be surprised if something akin to your request
were not available

Did you look at the link to Owen Taylor's reinteract program? I think
it's closer to what you want than any other thing mentioned here, with
the exception that it's a standalone GTK (graphical) app.

Yes, I did. And I think this program is a great lightweight alernative
to sage, which was mentioned in another post and would probably be
my preferred environment if I had complete freedom to set up my working
environment and would not need to exchange data with others or explain
how someone else is supposed to reuse my code/results in two years time.

Things being as they are, I am looking for a solution which works with
as few additional components as possible, so that a solution based on
a simple copy-and-paste class or decorator is preferable.

Regards,

Manuel
