Is there a way in Blender 2.57x to do like in Maya (http://download.autodesk.com/us/maya/2011help/CommandsPython/commandPort.html) and open a command port to gain access to an echo of all the Python command that Blender emit using sockets?
I need the same thing and not found this feature in Blender yet, is rare, comunicate a aplication is some essential today, well, i hope that this feature will be implemented in next versions, the most aproximate to this request is send the script way open blender with flags how show this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUm1coolop0, good luck.
Hi,
A couple of years ago I implemented the “Blender Command Port” which, since then, I happily use on a daily base.
See:
- http://formgames.org/blender/command-port/
- https://code.launchpad.net/~diresu/blender/blender-command-port-002/
As I am still working with an old Blender version, I recently did not update it. I plan however to do so again some day…
If you are interested, I will try to find some free time to work on it. So please let me know…
Cheers, Dietrich
Well definitely interested! And Im sure Im not the only one 
Having this feature implemented inside Blender v2.5x will open alot of doors for many developers. Whether it is to synchronize the Blender viewport with another app (like I did here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7l3jpAreEI and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAkK3Mb9cOk but without having to create and synchronize threads)

you hook up the out to the in and the in to the out. and put an eval-loop
tell blender to tell python to tell the terminal to tell python what to tell blender and then print out what happens
pseudocode:
import bpy
import sys #or os i forget
do something to hook up the terminal input stream into blender
x=read from the terminal #maybe thats it – a read() command
eval(x)
print the result
repeat
