There is no direct way to detect the interactive flag. However sys.ps1 and sys.ps2 are not set unless the interpreter runs in interactive mode. import sys isinteractive = hasattr(sys, "ps1") The trick doesn't work if you want to get the flag's state before the interactive interpreter starts. You could query the internal state of the Py_InteractiveFlag flag with ctypes. sys.flags does it, too. import ctypes ctypes.cast(ctypes.pythonapi.Py_InteractiveFlag, ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_int)).contents.value Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
