RE: [PyCrust] how do you load and run the Data samples?

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

shell.runfile('Data\PythonTutorial.py')

This is something fun I was toying with. PythonTutorial.py is a series of
commands, such as one would enter in the shell directly. I actually lifted
them directly from Guido's tutorial. runfile() runs through all the commands
and pushes them into the editor. So it kind of simulates an actual user
session except that the shell results are real live results from the
interpreter. If runfile() finds any command intended for the shell -
shell.whatever() - it runs those "silently" so that you can build into the
tutorial.py file things like shell.clear() and shell.pause() and such to
interact with the user during the tutorial.

This isn't really complete. But the basics are there and it did force me to
support pushing commands to the interpreter recursively, which was a bit of
a mind-bender. I think this could be extended to do some wild stuff.

So, for PythonCard, you could create tutorials that would demonstrate, live,
how to mess with stuff from the shell.

Subject: [PyCrust] how do you load and run the Data samples?

There is a Data directory in the distribution with:
  PyCrustTutorial.py
  PythonTutorial.py

How can these be loaded and run from within PyCrust?
