Python Console Interface

There is a console interface to the arena-py library. This is designed to have a way to inspect the program from the console, without having to send a heartbeat or write your own command/response interface.

Enable it with the environment variable:

ENABLE_INTERPRETER=1

A session looks like this (look for lines starting with #):
