1) I am trying to trying to figure out how I would set up an interactive python script, however, I am having trouble googling this, since a search for "interactive python" just returns instructions on how to type "python" in a terminal to get an "interactive" session....
Check out the Talking to the User topic in my tutorial. It covers interactive prompting and use of command line arguments.
3) I see iPython (which I have never used) is an enhanced interactive python shell. Perhaps this could do what I want - does anyone have experience with iPython?
Several here use it but that is a development tool not the final application. However you might like to investigate the cmd module... It could be very helpful.
4) does anyone have strong recommendations for or against using matplotlib? Is it low maintenance for producing graphs, or does it take lots of user interaction? All the example pictures I see are very pretty, but it is not clear how much effort is needed to generate them - or is it just a "well know to those who know it well" thing?
I haven't used it seriously but those that do seem to find it works OK. HTH, -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
