[FR] REPL in the App

[mmoollllee]

Proposal Summary

I'd love to see a Python interpreter right inside the app (similar to VS Code), to control the current session and the app in the same window.

Motivation

• Right now I have to choose how I want to work before starting FiftyOne. I'd like to be able to start the app and control the current session without noticing I have to close and start the session via Python again to have the session in the terminal window.

What areas of FiftyOne does this feature affect?

• App: FiftyOne application

Details

Similar to VSCode, maybe in a Tab window (like Embeddings, Histrogram, Samples).

This would indeed be awesome! Like VoxelGPT but the panel just lets you run arbitrary Python commands
