How to embed a Python interpreter in a PyQT widget

Question

I want to be able to bring up an interactive python terminal from my python application. Some, but not all, variables in my program needs to be exposed to the interpreter.

It sounds like you did something similar to my Veusz application, https://veusz.github.io/. I thought you might find it useful to see a more complete implementation. I can't post hyperlinks but have a look at windows/consolewindow.py for the widget class. Commands are executed by the document/commandinterpreter.py class. The interface is defined in document/commandinterface.py. It's mostly done manipulating a dict however.
