You still have to download and install the application.

(original post from planetthoughtful didn't seem to arrive here, so replying to Bob's reply) Newbie to Python, and I'm wondering if it's possible to create a Python console app that prompts for further input on the command line when run (in Windows XP, if that's important)? While Bob's suggestion of cliff sounds interesting, Python also offers the cmd module[1] in the standard library which does most of what I've needed in the past. If you've got the readline library available, it also supports autocompletion and command-line history which is a nice bonus. -tkc [1] http://docs.python.org/2/library/cmd.html # py2.x http://docs.python.org/3/library/cmd.html # py3.x Docs should be about the same -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Ah. 2005 would explain why my newsreader has purged them as ancient history :) Thanks for the clarification. -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You may also find the cmd module useful, see: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-cmd.html Cheers, Keir. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
