Currently if you work in console and define a function and then
immediately call it - it will fail with SyntaxError.
For example, copy paste this completely valid Python script into console:
def some():
print "XXX"
some()
There is an issue for that that was just closed by Eric. However, I'd
like to know if there are people here that agree that if you paste a
valid Python script into console - it should work without changes.
For this kind of multi-line, multi-statemenmt pasting, open an IDLE edit
window for tem.py (my name) or such, paste, run with F5. I have found
that this works for me than direct pasting.
A interactive lisp interpreter can detect end-of-statement without a
blank line by matching a closing paren to the open paren that starts
every expression.
