I don't remember if OO ever asked for permission, but Winrar did. I would hope that install programs asked for permission before adding something like this. And take it with them when they leave. The reason I find this useful is because most of my practice programs so far "import random". I have a shell file that I keep and I copy it to a blank file to start another practice problem. If I try to just "save as" something else, I forget sometimes. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
