# <py-repl>

The `<py-repl>` element provides a REPL(Read Eval Print Loop) to evaluate multi-line Python and display output.

## Attributes

| attribute         | type    | default | description                           |
|-------------------|---------|---------|---------------------------------------|
| **auto-generate** | boolean |         | Auto-generates REPL after evaluation |
| **output**        | string  |         | The element to write output into      |

### Examples

#### `<py-repl>` element set to auto-generate

```html
<py-repl auto-generate="true"> </py-repl>
```

#### `<py-repl>` element with output

```html
<div id="replOutput"></div>
<py-repl output="replOutput">
    hello = "Hello world!"
    hello
</py-repl>
```

Note that if we `print` any element in the repl, the output will be printed in the [`py-terminal`](../plugins/py-terminal.md) if is enabled.
