Yes this is normal behaviour. There are several ways around it, one of which is the raw_input trick you have used. Another is to change the Python startup behaviour to include the /i parameter to python which causes the interpreter not to exit - handy for debugging faulty scripts. These options are discussed near the end of the Style topic in my tutor -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
