Feature request: python3 command support #784

Description

@veeskelad

Use Case

Python scripts are frequently executed inline (heredocs) or directly during AI-assisted development sessions. The output from Python scripts — tracebacks, print statements, data dumps — can be verbose and consume unnecessary context tokens.

Statistics (from rtk discover)

  • ~570 python3 commands in 30 days (single user)
  • ~420 heredoc invocations (python3 << 'EOF' ... EOF)
  • ~150 direct script executions (python3 script.py)

Proposed Behavior

rtk python3 could:

  • Compress long tracebacks (show only the relevant frames)
  • Truncate large data output (e.g., list/dict dumps)
  • Deduplicate repeated log lines (same as RTK already does for other commands)

Impact

Second most frequent unhandled command category in rtk discover output.
