When I open python.exe to the console or "interactive window" and
import/run a script I am frustrated trying to import and run another
script in the same session. eg I run the script alphasort once fine :
>>> import alphasort < it runs >
When its finished I then try to run the same or another script without
exiting the session.
>>> import script2
Now one of 4 things happen
1, it runs ( rarely )
2. the console repeats the prompt and echos the name of the script
without running it
>>> import script2 < nothing further happens >
3. the console repeats just the prompt
>>>
4. After the above rarely the system locks up requiring the
3-finger-salute. Perhaps this occurs when I repeatedly try to
run another script.
I am running Python 3.0 under Windows XP with Windows updates.
To run another script I have to exit python.exe with ctrl-Z [return]
and call it up again, either directly from Windows or from a
shortcut.
Is this usual behavior ? This is my first experience with a scripting
language and it is frustrating to have to exit and return to the
console every time. Thanks for any comments, Dave Lemper
