I was really asking about the keywords he typed that showed the "slides" in the terminal. For instance, when he typed in "builtins" at the beginning, it cleared his screen and then showed a quick ASCII art image. I suppose he could have just built these functions, but if there is a tool that he might be using, that would be pretty handy.
no no, that's what i mean: he hacked the REPL up to hell and gone, and is actually using it to run his presentation. It's nuts. See ~04:20 where he briefly alludes to that in the talk.
I was at pycon when beaz programmed a set of raw socket server/client scripts running fibonnaci sequences LIVE from scratch in front of 1000 people using nothing but a text editor. The man is truly a mad genius.
