How do I run a python script from within the IDLE interactive shell? The following throws an error: >>> python helloworld.py SyntaxError: invalid syntax Python2 Built-in function: execfile execfile('helloworld.py') It normally cannot be called with arguments. But here's a workaround: import sys sys.argv = ['helloworld.py', 'arg'] # argv[0] should still be the script name execfile('helloworld.py') Python3 : alternative to exefile: exec(open('helloworld.py').read()) See https://stackoverflow.com/a/437857/739577 for passing global/local variables. Deprecated since 2.6: popen import os os.popen(

Here is my code. I'm not exactly sure if I need a counter for this to work. The answer should be 'iiii' . def eliminate_consonants(x): vowels= ['a','e','i','o','u'] vowels_found = 0 for char in x: if char == vowels: print(char) eliminate_consonants('mississippi') Bhargav Rao Correcting your code The line if char == vowels: is wrong. It has to be if char in vowels: . This is because you need to check if that particular character is present in the list of vowels. Apart from that you need to print(char,end = '') (in python3) to print the output as iiii all in one line. The final program will be

I am new to PyCharm. I have been using IDLE for a long time. It is very convenient to use Python objects after script execution in IDLE. Is there any way to use script objects after its execution with interactive python shell using PyCharm? For example, we have a 'test' project with one file 'test.py': a = '123' print a after execution we can get the result: 123 Process finished with exit code 0 How can I use string 'a' with interactive shell? Built-in python shell for current debug session Set a breakpoint at the line of interest in your code (i.e. by clicking the gutter), and launch debug

I have Python 2.x and 3.x on my machine (Mac OS X 10.6). For some things I want to use ver 2, but for others I want ver 3. I like the IDLE software for editing/running, but it always uses version 3. Is there any way to change the version of the interpreter that IDLE uses? Thanks! There are different versions of IDLE installed for each Python version. Depending on how you installed Python on Mac OS X, you may find different folders in /Applications . Look for a Python 3.n (n = 1 or 2) folder with an IDLE in it. Or, from a terminal command line, you may find an idle2.6 and an idle3 or idle3.1 or

I am following a tutorial to try to learn how to use BeautifulSoup. I am trying to remove names from the urls on a html page I downloaded. I have it working great to this point. from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(open("43rd-congress.html")) final_link = soup.p.a final_link.decompose() links = soup.find_all('a') for link in links: print link but when I enter this next part from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(open("43rd-congress.html")) final_link = soup.p.a final_link.decompose() links = soup.find_all('a') for link in links: names = link.contents[0] fullLink =

A basic example of multiprocessing Process class runs when executed from file, but not from IDLE. Why is that and can it be done? from multiprocessing import Process def f(name): print('hello', name) p = Process(target=f, args=('bob',)) p.start() p.join() Yes. The following works in that function f is run in a separate (third) process. from multiprocessing import Process def f(name): print('hello', name) if __name__ == '__main__': p = Process(target=f, args=('bob',)) p.start() p.join() However, to see the print output, at least on Windows, one must start IDLE from a console like so.
