Hi Seb,
IDLE restarts the shell each time you run a script. This is the default
behavior in order to have a clean interpreter.
In terms of code design, you could try using "import YOURSCRIPT" in your
other scripts and refer to path definitions. For example:
YOURSCRIPT.py:
path_to_files="/home/user/files/"
ANOTHERSCRIPT.py
import YOURSCRIPT
print(YOURSCRIPT.path_to_files)
You can also modify the source code of IDLE itself. Look in
ScriptBinding.py for "restart_shell". Commenting it out will disable
shell restarts. (If you do this, then the only way to get a shell
restart is to close the PyShell window and re-open it.) If you want to
improve IDLE, you could submit a patch for making the shell restart an
option on the Run menu.
Alternatively, if you want to keep stateful information between script
executions, try using the SubCode extension at http://idlex.sourceforge.net
and use the "Run All Subcodes" feature. This will run your script
without restarting the shell.

Hi,
I just installed the 2.7 Python version on my computer and I have a
problem to run my scripts. It seems "Idle" makes a "restart" each time
I run a new script in my shell and it occurs issues in my test
execution because my first scripts contains all paths definition for
other scripts.
How can I remove the "Restart" in my shell (see pic attached)?
I had a look in the option menu but I found nothing to solve it.
Thank you in advance.
Seb!
