[Tutor] The very first program in python

[Sajjadul Islam]

Hi

I am on Ubuntu 15.10 and using Python 3.4.

The following suggestion is not clear to me :

"

If you defined your function in a separate module using IDLE
you can use the run menu to run the module directly. That will
in turn load it into the IDLE shell for you to use.

"

Let me explain again what I did. I created a .py file and defined a
function that takes a last as input argument. Then  i saved the file.

1.Start python3 interpretor from the command line
2. Defined a list in the interpreter.
3. Send the list as input argument to the function in the .py file.

Eventually, I got the error message as mentioned in my previous post.

How to call the run menu once you are in the command line at linux env ?



Thanks
