Hello Josh,
Thanks for the reply. But I am not sure I understand your reply, may be
I need to explain my problem a bit more. I have a Python script which
needs an input argument to run.
e.g. python myscript.py xilinx. which run fine.
My problem is this: When I start IDLE GUI, then I open my script with
the edit window. (i.e.
File -> open). I run my script under the edit window using run -> run
module or F5. But IDLE does not allow me to input the argument to my
script, i.e. IDLE runs without prompting for the argument, then my
script fails. I wonder how can I pass the argument to my script under
IDLE?
