spawn a terminal, send text to it

[quesada]

Is it possible to spawn a terminal, and send text to it?
This would be very powerful for laguages with an ERPL, such as python, ruby or R.

There's no API for showing a panel that receives input in such a manner within Sublime Text 2 (and it's unlikely there will be in the future). In principle, there's nothing stopping you from spawning a terminal in a new process via Python though.
