Intercepting commands executed in the native REPL?

[mofojed]

The Native Python REPL feature looks very intriguing. I was wondering if there was a way to intercept the commands when starting the REPL?
For example, you can start your own InteractiveConsole that intercepts commands:

import code


class Repl(code.InteractiveConsole):
    def runsource(
        self, source: str, filename: str = "<input>", symbol: str = "single"
    ) -> bool:
        # TODO: Integrate your compiler/interpreter
        print("source:", source)


repl = Repl()
repl.interact(banner="", exitmsg="")

I'd like to be able to wire that up with the native REPL somehow, such that I can intercept the code and execute it in my custom environment.

I found this ticket referencing custom REPLs but it's not clear to me how to plug in to that? #23091

Also another ticket related to setting environments I've found is #23570

@mofojed The native repl implementation we have uses VS Code Interactive window for UI, Notebook Controller and a backing python server that handles exec and input.

The python server runs with whatever you have selected as the python environment for the project. The server side, is a JSON-RPC python server, all it does is manages execution, and variables for variables view.

Allowing custom environments specifically for the Native Repl would be a feature request, on the python extension side.
