PROGRAMMING MODES IN PYTHON
Python provides two basic programming modes: Interactive Mode and Script Mode.
INTERACTIVE MODE (IDLE SHELL WINDOW)
The IDLE Shell window is an interactive window where we can type a Python code and view the
output in the same window. In the IDLE Shell window, the >>> sign appears. Here, we can type our
code and get output by pressing the Enter key.
Short key To close IDLE window: Subject: To exit IDLE window
To exit the IDLE window, click on
Ctrl +
D
File menu
Exit option.
SCRIPT MODE (EDITOR’S WINDOW)
Python Shell does not allow you to save our commands written on the command prompt, it gives
output immediately after pressing the Enter key. If you want to see all the output after completion
of the code, then you can use the Python script mode. It also allows you to type multi-line codes
that we save for further use.
To open Python Editor’s Window: click on the File Menu click on the New File options.
The output is displayed in the next line in the same Python Shell window.
