Ask HN: Has anyone seen any realtime Python IDE?

Just read about light table IDE. Really love it's realtime output feature. Has anyone seen an IDE that supports real-time Python? That would be very helpful to the project I'm working on right now.

What sort of project are you working on?

Oh, I was just working on some simple Python site. Our instructor required us to use Python to generate the whole html document, and I kinda have a bunch of if statements for generating diff html elements and stuff. It was quite tedious that he asked us to do that, but it's an entry level course.. so things don't really make sense in real world. I would really be benefited by an IDE that has the feature of previewing the output of some code, that way I don't have to run it in the browser every time I make any chances.

Anyway, thanks for your recommendation! Field looks like an interesting IDE to try out with its awesome "code canvas" feature. I'm not too concerned about the Processing/artistic part of it :p
