Thanks Kent,
Yes, there is a run.py in the demo folder. I is the one that runs and
not the one in the Python25 lib.
So, I tried to see if I could find it if I previously imported
everything that the code imports. It didn't - see below:

Dave,
Thanks for the guidance. I followed your advice and learned the
following:
>>> import run
>>> print "run module:", run
run module:
The run.py file is there also. I can read but not understand what
run.py does. It may be something new in
Python 2.5. I have unistalled Python 2.4
It's wxpython demo's code.
It's necessary to have the run.py in the same path, to make it run, and usually
also some other files.

Hello,
I am trying to understand some sample code that includes the following
for a main program:
def runTest(frame, nb, log):
win = TestPanel(nb, log)
return win
if __name__ == '__main__':
import sys,os
import run
run.main(['', os.path.basename(sys.argv[0])] +

We don't need it. Often we code a module for importing into another module.
But sometimes we also want to run the module independently as a Python
program, perha

Hi Shi Mu,
It's tied to the concept of modules. Have you learned about modules yet?
Python programs can be split into several modular pieces, and these

It is very hard for me to understand why we need the following line?

Actually no. When you *import* a file its name is set to
the file name(or more acurately the module name) When you run
a file from the command
