[Visualpython-users] [Q] VPython and IDLE

[Young-Jin L. <yl...@ui...>]

Hi, all.
I would like to know if VPython application can be executed outside =
IDLE. I mean, I want to create a Python application with VPython because =
VPython has only command line interface. Can it be possible?

Thanks in advance.

Yes.  I don't use IDLE.  I type my program using the emacs editor.  I
run it by typing "python name.py" and it works fine.  (This is on a 
Linux system, but it should work the same on a Windows system.)

IDLE is just a convenient environment for editing and running Python 
programs, including VPython programs. One need not invoke IDLE at all to 
edit or run a VPython program; you can use any text editor of your choice, 
and you can invoke the Python interpreter to run the program.

I don't understand your comment about "VPython has only command line 
interface." There is a command line interface available for Python, or one 
can use IDLE, etc. There is no command line interface associated with the 
Visual module which goes with Python to make the package we refer to as 
VPython.
