title: GEdit/Python execution plugin?
body: <p>I'm just starting out learning python with GEdit plus various plugins as my IDE.</p>
  
  <p>Visual Studio/F# has a feature  which permits the highlighting on a piece of text in the code window which then, on a keypress, gets executed in the F# console. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a similar facility/plugin which would enable this sort of behaviour for GEdit/Python? I do have various execution type plugins (Run In Python,Better Python Console) but they don't give me this particular behaviour - or at least I'm not sure how to configure them to give me this. I find it useful because in learning python, I have some test code I want to execute particular individual lines or small segments of code (rather then a complete file) to try and understand what they are doing (and the copy/paste can get a bit tiresome)</p>
  
  <p>... or perhaps there is a better way to do code exploration?</p>
  
  <p>Many thx</p>
