Hello Wei Su,

I don't think IDLE has a concept of 'executing selected statements'. You have two main windows with IDLE - one for writing whole programs, which you can then run by pressing F5, and an interactive environment which behaves like the normal Python interactive interpreter (executing individual statements or blocks like function and class definitions etc).

All the best,

Michael Foord

Hi, All: I am a really green user of Python. And I am now using IDLE. The most significant inconvenience so far is that I still cannot figure out how to run selected statements in the interactive mode. In SAS, I can do F3, in R, F5 and in Matlab F9. But I tried all these keys and still cannot figure out how to run selected statements/commands. I am using Windows XP. Any help will be really great! Wei Su
