    1. COOn a somewhat related note, one use-case where it could be handy to create new statements on the fly (as opposed to seriously "extending" the language) is for people who use the interactive interpreter as a calculator, or even an OS shell. I often create little throwaway functions on the fly to do something I'm going to repeat, and in those situations would be nice to create very abbreviated commands like macros or statements rather than typing the long names with function() syntax. Of course that's not really what Py is for.. but people do spend a lot of time using it interactively.

    2. CO@Kilo it might be worth looking at ipython - it has a lot of shell'ish features, for example you can use regular "ls" and "cd" commands, tab-completion, lots of macro-ish features etc

    3. COSome languages are exquisitely extensible, e.g. Forth and Smalltalk, but their language paradigms are different than that used by Python as well. With both of those any new words (Forth) or methods (Smalltalk) become an integral, indistiguishable part of the language for that installation. So each Forth or Smalltalk installation becomes a unique creation over time. Also Forth is RPN based. But thinking along the lines of DSLs, something like this should be accomplishable in Python. Though, as others have said here, why?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
