Since you don't tell us what you are doing, we cant tell you what about it is wrong. If you are are trying to execute HW.py from the >>> prompt by just typing its name then that's wrong. You need to import it as HW import HW # note not HW.py, just HW And if it has a sentinel section that runs a main() function then you need to replicate that code manually. But it's not normal to run programs from the Python shell like that. Most IDEs such as IDLE have a menu option to run the program and the output then appears in the shell window. But, even then, it should just be for testing, the best way to run the program is, as you apparently did, using the python interpreter directly from the OS. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] Python Shell
Hi. I have just installed Python 2.7.12 ( i have windows xp). I created a program called HW.py that runs under a command prompt, but Python Shell gives the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in HW.py NameError: name 'HW' is not defined Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I have added the Python directory to the Path. Alan. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

The above reply was cross-posted from the following thread on python-list:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2014-January/thread.html#665549
The Windows start menu has a shortcut for "IDLE (Python GUI)" that
runs the idle.pyw script. The file extension .pyw is associated with
either pythonw.exe or the launcher pyw.exe, which are both linked as
GUI programs. That means the process is created without an attached
console (one can be allocated or attached later using Windows API
calls).
idle.pyw imports idlelib.PyShell and calls its `main`. The shell
itself is implemented by the PyShell class, for which the window title
is
"Python " + platform.python_version() + " Shell"
http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/c3896275c0f6/Lib/idlelib/PyShell.py#l829
Also, the editor window's run menu has a "Python Shell" item:
('run', [('Python Shell', '<>')])

Re: [Tutor] python shell not working like it used to
well the __init__() funciton is not my code, it is in: C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.6-msw-unicode\wx\py\shell.py as I mentioned I upgraded wxpython... maybe I should email there... anyhow I just want to use my dictionary in the shell, but I'm not sure what the attribute 'this' is... it seems to be something different from my previous version of wxpython. thanks.

You are passing a dictionary into init() that does not have a this attribute but the code inside the init() is trying to access a this attribute. It can't find one so it raises an error. Either remove the this access in init or add a thus attribute to your dictionary argument. Or pass an argument that does have a this attribute.

[Tutor] python shell not working like it used to
hello, I just upgraded to python 2.5 and wxpython 2.6. I'm not sure the correct
list for this but I'm trying to shove some variables into a py shell using the
below code. this worked pretty well before, but now it gives me an error on the
last line of my brief example. The error is:
'dict' object has no attribute 'this'
it occurs on line 171 in shell.py. so I looked in shell.py and it looks like
this:
def __init__(self, other):
"""Create a ShellFacade instance."""
d = self.__dict__
d['other'] = other
d['helpText'] = HELP_TEXT
d['this'] = other.this
"other" here is the dictionary I pass in (I think), so it's for some reason
looking for some attribute in my dictionary called 'this'. of course my
dictionary doesn't have this attribute. I have no idea what this is. any ideas?
my few lines of code are below.
import py
import wx.py as py
partList = {'this is some dictionary':1}
pyWindow2 = py.editor.EditWindow(py.editor.Editor, splitterWindow1,
-1)
pyWindow1 = py.shell.Shell(splitterWindow1, -1, introText = None)
pyWindow1.interp.locals['partList'] = py.shell.ShellFacade(partList)

Re: [Tutor] Python Shell Not Saved Problem

You cannot run the interactive shell buffer because Python will try to execute all the output from the commands - they get executed as soon as you type them. You run programs from the text buffers and the output appears in the shell window. The typical way of working is: - start the IDE(IDLE or Pythonwin) - from the Shell buffer default window use File->Open(or New) to open a new code editor window - from the new window use Run to execute the code in the current edit pane. - look at the output in the shell window/pane You don't need to close the window between runs just save the code and rerun it.

[Tutor] Python Shell Not Saved Problem
Dear folks, Just wanted to thank everyone for the help. I think I know what was going on with that “The buffer for Python Shell is not saved” message I was getting when I tried to run a script. Apparently you need to open the module before you run the script and also to re-open it each time you want to run the script. That seems a little strange to me but it appears to work that way. By the way, a couple of folks said their screen didn’t look like what I described and wondered what version I was using. It is version 2.1 which I have because it that version is bundled with ESRI ArcGIS 9 which I have. I have been wondering if I can update that version but am afraid that it might be customized to ArcGIS somehow and I might mess that up if I upgrade just the Python portion. Also, someone advised that the Shell window not be used that way anyway. I think I agree and will operate from Pythonwin from now on. A couple of folks also mentioned a book, Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional. I think I might try that. Again, thanks everyone for all the help. I was very impressed with the response to my cry for help. - Steve ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
