Hi Thierry, If I understand you correctly, you are trying to execute your script essai.py. In your second example, however, you are importing your script as a module. It does not mean your script is part of spyder.
In spyder there is a very easy way to execute your script: press F5 (or via the menu: run > run (F5)). You can chose in which kind of console (Ipython or standard python) and you can also check the box "interact with python interpreter after execution" if you would like to interact with your results via the Ipython or python console and for instance check the variables in the variable explorer. I can also recommend you to check the documentation of spyder: http://packages.python.org/spyder/index.html Some more handy links for learning python which I really recommend to go through: it will safe you a lot of misery.
