Instead of starting IDLE as I normally do, I started the Python interpreter and tried to run a program. I got a Python prompt (>>>), and then tried unsuccessfully to run a Python script named Script1.py that runs perfectly well in IDLE. Here's what I did:
>>>Script1.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? NameError: name Script1 is not defined >>>python Script1.py File "<stdin>", line 1 python Script1.py SyntaxError: invalid syntax I can load it (and have it execute) by typing >>>import Script1 0 1 2 3 4 and if I edit it, I can then execute it by reloading it >>>import Script1 0 1 2 3 4 <module 'Script1' from 'Script1.pyc'> But this seems contrived - is there no way to repeatedly run Script1 from the interpreter without reloading it?
