Hi Dennis, to answer your questions: 1) So far as I can see ipython generates .pyc files. 2) This morning I ran the scripts, and got the same problem using ipython as in my earlier post. I then deleted the .pyc file, ran the calling script and this time it works. I then replaced the .pyc file I had deleted, expecting to have the problem again, but no. 3) I've tried your suggestion, and it works fine.
A few questions: Why does python use the double underscore (__main__ or if __name__)? I've only been using python for about 3 weeks, and I see this syntax a lot, but haven't found an explanation for it so far? Also, as I understand , the .pyc files should be updated every time you change and run the equivalent .py file? Thanks, Evan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
