In other words, the Python interactive shell doesn't even open. What
am I doing wrong?
I did RTFM at http://www.python.org/doc/1.5.2p2/tut/node4.html on
argument passing, but to no avail.
You've told python to run the command "import re" which it's happily
done before exiting. Simply type python, then at the prompt (default
>>>) type whatever commands you wish, e.g.
c:\Users\Mark\python\regex>python
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import re
>>> help(re.compile)
Help on function compile in module re:
compile(pattern, flags=0)
Compile a regular expression pattern, returning a pattern object.
