Awesome work, guys. I've got a quick question. I know there's a way to connect to a remote REPL for Clojure live eval, but is there currently a way to open up a remote Python session for eval?

I'm working on an embedded device with a Python interpreter, and I'd love to be able to run that environment remotely, over ssh with a Python session.

If it doesn't exist, can you steer me to a place to get started building this as a plugin? Thanks!

Right now the python plugin works by running a little tcp client and connecting to LT's main tcp server. You'd just need to flip those. The Clojure nREPL stuff does this, though it might be a hair bit more complicated than what you'll need for the python one: https://github.com/LightTable/Clojure/blob/master/src/lt/plu...

Past that, you'd just need to add something to the python plugin that runs a tcp server in your process and then hooks into the python running code that's already there. https://github.com/LightTable/Python/blob/master/py-src/ltma...

Thanks Chris!
