If you just want to monitor the app state (without interaction with
the event loop), it should be trivial:

- launch your app from normal terminal window, so that the terminal
window remains open
- Launch IPython session like this:
http://ipython.scipy.org/svn/ipython/ipython/trunk/test/test_embed.py
- Do the "ses.mainloop()" part in a separate thread if you don't want
to block your event loop
