Dear all,
Is it possible for a Python script to detect whether it is running
interactively? It can be useful for e.g. defining functions that are
only useful in interactive mode.
Ah, I should have looked more carefully at the docs...
http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html#sys.ps1
sys.ps1 and sys.ps2 are documented as only existing if you are running
interactively.
This doesn't really work. In ipython, sys.ps1 is not defined. But also
if I run 'python <<< "import sys; print(sys.ps1)"', I get an error.
