"""
An interactive, stateful AJAX shell that runs Python code on the server.

Part of http://code.google.com/p/google-app-engine-samples/.

May be run as a standalone app or in an existing app as an admin-only handler.
Can be used for system administration tasks, as an interactive way to try out
APIs, or as a debugging aid during development.

The logging, os, sys, db, and users modules are imported automatically.

Interpreter state is stored in the datastore so that variables, function
definitions, and other values in the global and local namespaces can be used
across commands.

To use the shell in your app, copy shell.py, static/*, and templates/* into
your app's source directory. Then, copy the URL handlers from app.yaml into
your app.yaml.

TODO: unit tests!

  Each session globals is stored in one of two places:

  If the global is picklable, it's stored in the parallel globals and
  global_names list properties. (They're parallel lists to work around the
  unfortunate fact that the datastore can't store dictionaries natively.)

  If the global is not picklable (e.g. modules, classes, and functions), or if
  it was created by the same statement that created an unpicklable global,
  it's not stored directly. Instead, the statement is stored in the
  unpicklables list property. On each request, before executing the current
  statement, the unpicklable statements are evaluated to recreate the
  unpicklable globals.

  The unpicklable_names property stores all of the names of globals that were
  added by unpicklable statements. When we pickle and store the globals after
  executing a statement, we skip the ones in unpicklable_names.

  Using Text instead of string is an optimization. We don't query on any of
  these properties, so they don't need to be indexed.
