But, after having gone through the process a few times, you decided to shove them into a file to save on typing. Python is a programming language. Period. [Yes, I know there's some sort of Python command interpreter intended to be used for normal day-to-day use, but that's not what we're talking about here.] I classify some files that start with '#!/usr/bin/bash' as scripts, but some are programs that just happen to be written in bash because bash provides good facilities for doing filesystem manipulation and running other executables. I've never seen a Python program that I would consider a script. But maybe that's just me... -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
