insert-selected-text to a non-bash terminal

[hrishikeshac]

My python workflow : Open a .py file; Launch the platformio-atom-ide-terminal ('+' sign on the bottom left pane); Enter into ipython mode at that terminal; and Use ctrl-enter to send current line to the terminal and advance to the next line.

This works great in a REPL sense. But it doesn't work when a multi-line text is selected (in that case, only the first line of the selected text gets sent).

Is there a way around this?

@hrishikeshac were you able to find a solution to this? I am having the same issue and have been searching all over for a solution.

@tsail I haven't. I changed my workflow to hydrogen-launcher. It can start a ipython terminal for the current script. Single or multiple lines can be executed using Hydrogen, and the ipython terminal can be used for temporary stuff (printing array shapes etc).

However I would still prefer if the multi-line text execution (highlighted in the original post) would work. That would be more simplistic and elegant than my current workflow, IMO.

@hrishikeshac I just found out it is a iPython issue. If you run pip install --force-reinstall ipython==4.2.1 it should work.

AFAIK, when in multi-line, the code should be sent bracketed, as this code does for SublimeText. I guess something similar should be implemented in here. I'm also looking for a solution to this issue, and I don't want to downgrade IPython.

Was a solution found? Downgrading ipython seems totally unacceptable.
