Access blender interactive python shell from terminal Is it possible to get access to the blender interactive python shell from a terminal? I know I can start a python script with the the following command

blender --background --python script.py


But what i want is to get the actual shell that i can type in the terminal something like

&gt;&gt;&gt; bpy.ops.active_object.mode
'OBJECT'


and get the result immediatly like in the normal python interactive shell
The solution is to start blender with --python-console, see the user manual for Python command line args.
