Didn't know about the >>> class dummy: pass option. It makes sense now that I see it. Just hadn't ever tried it, I guess. Thanks! With some of my larger applications, it doesn't seem to work well to try to run the whole thing in the interpreter. At least for me, I am not a big IDE sort of programmer. I am much more comfortable in vim and command line stuff. I suppose I should use the IDE more. I wasn't offering this "tip" as a cure all. It was just an observation should it be of use to someone out there. However, I greatly appreciate your improvement on the example I gave. I will use your class dummy: pass approach from now on.
