I spend most of my work day at the interpreter. I don't write programs; I write libraries which I control with the interpreter. It's a fantastically useful and productive way to work. > Why are most examples like > that, rather than executed as .py files? If all of the examples were .py files, then many of them would have to have print statements sprinkled through them and a separate block to show the output. For most of the examples, I'd rather see the input and output interleaved so I know what corrseponds with what. > Another problem that I have (which does get annoying after awhile), is > not using foo and bar.
