<title>The Python Console</title>
<para>In order to do tests about plugins, or whatever concept that
we can try, we need a way to enter Python statements on a live &app;
environment. This is why &gwp; has a Python, you can access it by
selecting <guimenuitem>Python console</guimenuitem> on the
<guimenu>View</guimenu> menu, or pressing <keycombo>
<keycap>Ctrl</keycap> <keycap>Y</keycap> </keycombo>.</para>

<para>As you see on <xref linkend="fig_python-console"/>, you have
available the <emphasis>gwp</emphasis> module, where you have listed
all the classes and functions to write your plugins. As the plugin
support is a work-in-progress feature, the plugin API will surely
change, nevertheless it's in a semi-stable state.</para>
<para>It's necessary to say that the python console is not an
original work from &gwp;'s development team, it was copied from the
Dia Project and adapted to our environment.</para>
