For the last couple of months I have been reading and working throught the examples in Magnus Lie Hetland's Book "Practical Python" This for all practical purposes is the first computer programming language I have spent any time at learning, so much of what I have covered in the book was for the first time.
My problem is that many of the example scripts are run on Linux machines and I am using Win XP Pro. Here is a specific example of what is confusing me. If I want to open a file from the dos prompt in some script do I just write the name of the file I want to open (assuming it is in the same directory) after the script name? such as c:\some_script.py some_text_file.txt Does piping work the same way in dos as it does on a linux machine? And last but not least, is there a way to do this all from IDLE? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
