I'm not too familiar with IDLE but the version I have does have this behaviour- if I run a program that defines global variables, then the globals are available in the shell until I run another program. So if you are switching between running a program and experimenting in the shell, that may cause you some confusion. I don't think IDLE preserves variables between runs of a program. When the shell prints out the "RESTART" line, it is clearing the old variables. Whether that is the problem or not, I recommend you find a different editor or IDE to use; IMO IDLE is quite primitive and there are many better choices. Check the list archives or the Python wiki for many suggestions. http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
