Hi all, Is there any standard way to tell if the user is running from a module or from an interactive shell like IDLE or IPython? The best I've come up with so far is for a function to look at getouterframes(currentframe())[1][1] (the filename in the frame record of the frame that called the function), and check if it exists or not with os.path.exists. IPython gives '(ipython console)' and IDLE gives 'pyshell#0' whereas running from a module gives its filename. This seems a bit hacky. Any better ideas?
