    Hi, 
      
      I am able to write simple macros in the preamble.
      
      I wish to define a macro that takes in a TeXmacs text and does
      some computations with
      Python (or other, actually my favorite is Ruby) then prints out
      the result of Python execution.  
      
      I have tried to copy from what: Insert -> Fold -> Executable
      -> Python does, but unsuccessfully.
      <script-input|python|default|123+1>    => nope, does not
      run as I expect.
      
      My aim is this, i have a lot of very easy calculation steps in an
      engineering document, i wish
      to be able to write the _expression_ to compute e.g. $123.4_[m] /
      1.2_[m]$ then call the macro above it
      and have it become $123.4_[m]
      / 1.2_[m]$ = <RESULT_OF_PYTHON_EATING_THE_FORMULA>. 
      
      It could be fine for me to call the shell.
      
      At the moment I think every call to the Shell/Python/xxx can be
      independent, that is, i 
      don't need/want to memorize previous calculations outcome to do
      the next.
      
      
      bye
      Nicola
