Awesome. Thank you, Arnaud. I moved the file to that folder, and I got it to work in Terminal. However, I still can't get it to run using IDLE. Any idea why that might be? Thanks again. -Sean
To repeat what you were told earlier, IDLE is an interactive Python shell, not a command line. It executes Python commands directly, like
print "Hello, world"
"python mymodule.py" is *not* a Python command. To run your script from within IDLE, you have two choices: either open the script to edit with IDLE (menu File->Open or Ctrl-O) and use menu Run->Run Module or F5 to run it; or (assuming mymodule.py is in your home directory) type
import mymodule
The former has a few gotchas that you probably won't hit, and the latter has several that you almost certainly will hit. Personally I'd stick with the command line that you've already succeeded with! -- Rhodri James *-* Wildebeeste Herder to the Masses -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
