I just have one simple question. How do I open a python script from the interactive window? Or do I have to go to File->Open?
To get the names defined in in a script (functions, classes, etc.) into the interactive window, use: -
import scriptname # leave off the .py extension; must be in the current working directory
If you later modify the script, you must:

3 ways that I know of:
The PYTHONPATH environment variable may be appended to by hand (not a great solution) - import sys
-
sys.path.append(r"D:\Python\VideoCapture-0.9-1\Python24") # use the path to your script!
Thats a little better
My favorite:
Put your scripts all in one work folder until the work is complete.
After you have some utility/whatever that you use a lot and it is pretty much finished (probably never 100%), put it in
(on my system) D:\Python24\Lib \site-packages where python will automatically find it. If you want it in its own folder, you'll need a text file with the name of that folder in it. Save it with the .pth extension in the site-packages directory. Eventually, you'll learn to make a package from your work. Packages also live in the site-packages directory.
OK; I guess that's more like 5 ways of showing python where your scripts are.

Oh, yeah. One more way:
If you open a console (DOS) window and navigate to the folder where your scripts are, then type
python
you'll get an interactive window with the current working directory set correctly.
My favorite console is Console2 because it makes it easy to save sessions and start them back up later.

Hello all,
I recently started using Python, and I must say I like it. Both the
language and libraries available for it.
Background: I have written an application which I use to keep track
of my personal economy. I wrote it in Java because I wanted to learn the
language for a course in programming at my university. Now that I have
acquired an interrest in Python I was thinking about porting my program
to Python.

In the process of learning about some deeper details of Python I am
curious if it is possible to write a 'prefix' code assigning to a and b
something special, so, that Python gets trapped in an endless loop in a

if a==b: print 'OK'
I mean, it would be of much help to me on my way to understanding Python
to know how such prefix code leading to an endless loop can look like
and if it is eventually not possible to write such...

The major complaint I have about Python is that the packages

problems. So does M2Crypto. The built-in SSL support is weak.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
