[Tutor] using the modules and command prompt

[Mike Wagman]

I think you are looking for interactive mode.

from a command prompt

python -i 

from there you can import and work with modules - test code etc.

You can also go python -i (name of your program)

This runs the program and when it exits you have a prompt with all
modules and variables still intact.
