No. That's not how things work. One does dabble with the interpreter a bit, sometimes even creating a tiny class. But except from the occasional expression tested in the interpreter, it's not common to use that code and save it. Write python-files from the start. Then either execute them python myfile.py or if you insist, do python >>> import myfile >>> myfile.some_function() Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
