I couldn't (with a quick skimming) find any references to the interpreter in the thread, so I'll guess the original assertion was something like "showing new-comers the interpreter is stupid and wastes their time". > what is that? who uses that!? As a (more than) full time Python programmer, I can say that I use the interactive interpreter daily, and it contributes significantly to my prototyping of new code and reverse-engineering of existing code. I could imagine that other people might not find it that useful, but the "who uses that!?" response is hard for me to understand. -- Benji York -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
