True, but in this case, if there is an import error, the message will flash by without being read. Wrapping the *entire* program, imports and all, ensures that the program will pause regardless of what happens. -- Steven ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

But otherwise what you have should be fine. There are other ways of doing it and eventually you may write programs that don't require the press enter... line and you can then miss out all of the code above. But for learning that's fine. Or just run your programs inside IDLE or, as someone else suggested, Eclipse and PyDev (although personally that seems like overkill!) -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] more about how I overcame not being able to run my programs
I am very appreciative for the many valuable individuals who graciously take their precious time to help others in need. Special thanks to: Brian van den Broek,Bob Gailer,and Hugo Arts. I followed all the instructions of Hugo, Bob, and Brian. This is specifically what I am now doing so that I can see the programs that I run, and also be able to provide user input: try:import os# my programfinally:input ('\n\t\t\tPress the enter key to continue.')os.system ('pause') ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
