Integration of BLENDER CONSOLE with Blender App
Is it possible to have a Blender Console Output inside Blender also instead having it only as a separate OS window ? It would be nice to have it inside Blender and organize it in the whole Blender space. It is very important when you develop add-ons to have it all together.

We can have 2 options inisde Blender or external.
I'm not a huge fan of this idea. Having developed a few add-ons, its really nice to have debug output available in a terminal window in the event that Blender crashes or becomes unresponsive while you're developing.
@Jason van Gumster: I do not want to get rid of that functionality with an external OS window. But I would like to have another one - an area that can be used as other areas in Blender ( 3DView, Preference, Image/UV Editor, etc ) cuz do not know why some of important informations are propagated only via terminal and are not visible i.e. in Info Area.
@tomek: So there is already a Python console within Blender that fulfills most of those needs. the only thing is that it doesn't capture print statements to standard out. However, again, I'd prefer that to go to the OS terminal since that remains up even if Blender stalls or crashes (assuming you launched Blender from the command line... which you should if you're doing add-on development).
