In hearing from a couple people who teach python to beginners, this is a

This is something I never understood. On Windows, it's custom to launch
programs from the start menu, and Python is easy enough to find on the
start menu (e.g. by typing "Python"). Why do people want to launch it by
opening a shell window, then typing python?
Perhaps as the number of *nix users increases, the number of (*nix &
windows) developer/users increases.
3. Get a shell and run python.
This requires cd'ing to the directory where my .py file is, but then I
run/import it and I see the information.
When IDLE crashes, running it from a cmd window is the only way to get a
traceback to help diagnose the problem.
