Inspired by Django's interactive console, I added one to `Nikola, my static site generator <http://nikola.ralsina.me>`_ so that if you want to play with 
its internals, you can do it easily. Here's an example session::

    $ nikola init pepe
    A new site with some sample data has been created at pepe.
    See README.txt in that folder for more information.
    $ cd pepe
    $ nikola console
    Scanning posts
    .
    .
    done!
    You can now access your configuration as conf and your site engine as SITE
    >>> [p.title('en') for p in SITE.timeline]
    [u'Listings Demo', u'Nikola: it generates static', u'Welcome to Nikola',
    u'A reStructuredText Primer', u'A reStructuredText Reference', u'Sample
    Nikola Config File', u'The Nikola Handbook', u'Theming Nikola']

Have fun!
