Hi Nora,
do you mean copying or moving?
"If I copy c:\python25\nora.py to a temporary folder on the c:\, for
example c:\MyWork\nora.py and modify c:\MyWork\nora.py"
If you want to be sure that the file in the current directory gets
used, remove all files that have the same name from directories that
are in your PYTHONPATH ("import sys; sys.path").
If you execute a python module, it's location will be added at the
first place into the PYHTONPATH.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think that if you have a file with the
same name in another directory in your PYTHONPATH (for example
'c:\python25'), it may get used instead of the file that has been
loaded into memory earlier.
So if you want to be safe, remove your file from the folder "c:\python25".
You should treat this as a system folder and don't store any files in it.
Best Regards,
Jesaja
