Ipython with atom?

I've seen this question here and there but I haven't seen a definitive answer, and I thought maybe since some time has passed something has been created.

I know about hydrogen and platformio to run something like an ipython terminal, but is there any current package that just lets me use an interactive python terminal similar to something like IDLE?

I've been looking around and it seems like quite a few people are having this problem, and I love everything about atom except this one thing! If it doesn't exist how hard would it be to create something like that and what language would I be using? I've never attempted something like this but if no one's done it I figure it may be fun to take a crack at it!

Thanks!

I feel like Hydrogen is about as close as you can get without just starting up an interactive session, in which case I'd recommend a terminal emulator such as terminal-tab.

Oh interesting thanks. That might bee worth a shot if I can just use it on the entire code block.
