How does one check small blocks of code without typing them each time,
running an entire script (with other code) or creating a small script
for every code block?
For example say lines 1-100 work fine and now I'm working on lines
101-105. Should I create a small script with just those lines?
I use IDLE currently, but others like more sophisticated editors.
But even IDLE will comment and uncomment a selected block.
Or indent or dedent such a block.
I sometimes cut and paste within the shell window or between an editor
window and the shell.
If lines 1-100 run in under three seconds and have no system effects, I
don't worry about rerunning them. It won't hurt the CPU;-). If the
file consists of nearly all function definitions, or classes with defs,
under a second is more like it. Put one or more uncommented test calls
for the function being worked on at the bottom and run. and edit. and
run again.
