Why remove them? They shouldn't hurt performance and you only need one re-used for each expression. However I'm curious how you save your interactive sesssion to a script? I normally only write fragments at the >>> prompt and retype them into my script - there would be so much tweaking needed that its just as fast I think. (I tend to use single letter variables etc at the >>> whereas real scripts will have longer names and comments and spacing and more error handling etc) How are you using the prompt? -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
