I agree with this last paragraph.  I typically build the code in stages 
and run it between stages with some prints or something else to check 
each stage.  It's easy, doesn't involve copy-past or command lines.  I'm 
testing the code in-place.  I think that's easier and better.  Just code 
and hit cmd-R.
