You've reached a page on the Ren'Py wiki. Due to massive spam, the wiki hasn't been updated in over 5 years, and much of the information here is very out of date.

This code creates console screen that can process any python input put in it. Thus it can be useful as developer tool or if you are doing more demanding games, it is useful to do instant debugging and modification of game state.
This code requires code and codeop module from standard python (included in the zip).
