Hello,

That's a pretty interesting idea. :)

I developed it a bit further, and made a version that understands
basic if, for and while-blocks. However, it doesn't yet support else-
or try-blocks for example. The idea is that you parse a piece of code
by creating a new LineInterpreter as in

> >> src = open("test1.py").read()
> >> li = LineInterpreter(src)

To execute the source, you call the "run" method, which return a new
"RunTime" object (so that you can have several concurrent executions
of the same code without them interfering with eachother).

> >> runtime = li.run()

After this, you can run one or more lines calling runtime.iterate.

> >> runtime.iterate(5) # execute five lines of code, then return

The fancy thing is that the script execution can be e.g. in the middle
of an if-block after the iterate call, and it knows how to resume it
during the next call.

If there really is need for this sort of thing, let me know and I can
develop it further. :)
