I'm teaching my friend how to program in Python. So far, we have been using Skype's screen sharing feature, but that is quite cumbersome and low resolution. Is there a way we can have a common shell or command window? Both of us should be able to type within it and execute code. Any ideas? We both are using Win7.
Thanks!

Use a common server that has GNU screen installed, and run:
screen -S myScreenName
Have the other person log in as the same user and execute:
screen -x myScreenName
You can then run the Python interpreter inside screen. Both members will see the same thing, and both will be able to type.

I suggest you to try teamviewer. But i'm not sure about less cumbersome.

Err, any solutions for Win7? – None – 2012-01-15T20:26:59.560
It would be highly appropriate to add a reference to Cygwin if that's what you had in mind. – Uku Loskit – 2012-01-15T20:27:44.083
You'll probably either have to use Cygwin, either SSH into a Unix server. It shouldn't be too bad however, since the Python interpreter works the same on both Windows and Unix. If you need to do anything using the win32 API Python bindings though, that won't really work. – Etienne Perot – 2012-01-15T20:29:25.643
@VenkateshH is this useful to you: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff404238.aspx
