good to know you like it.

That's a possible work around, but creating a new file is very
annoying when you want to write only few lines of code.
In addition a user can find difficulty in loading a module,
especially if they don't know how to correctly setup python to
find their modules.

Obviously using python in actions requires some knowledge (e.g.
to know python syntax), but users usually search and adapt a
working script.

Sometimes puts more python commands in just one line of
code can require more skills than compile QGis on Windows
w/o getting dependencies from OSGeo4W :)

Cheers!
