Re: Running Python programmes
Maybe you're inadvertently running Python with either the '-i' switch or with the PYTHONINSPECT environment variable set? When you do that, your script will launch an interactive prompt after it completes. C:\Python27>echo print "hello" > hello.py C:\Python27>python hello.py hello C:\Python27>python -i hello.py hello >>> >>> ^Z C:\Python27>set PYTHONINSPECT=1 C:\Python27>python hello.py hello >>> >>> ^Z -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

For example, if you're on Linux, running Python 3.3, and you're running these "programmes" from the bash prompt, $ python3.3 prog1.py some results $ python3.3 prog2.py some other results I'd be amazed if you even saw the prompt. -- DaveA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

David David, Perhaps you could show a very small program, maybe 3 or 4 lines, that illustrates the problem. Python 3? Windows? Using Idle?

Running Python programmes
I am an absolute beginner and am working through the book Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner by Michael Dawson. Everything is fine except if I run a scripted programme, or one I have downloaded, and then run another one, the second one will not run, I just get the >>> in the interactive window. I have to exit Python and start again, when the second programme then runs fine. Any suggestions much appreciated. David -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
