The main differences between batch and interactive mode are that the latter:
|
|
1. echoe the value of expressions;
|
|
2. requires a blank line to terminate blocks (if, while, for, def, class).
|

|
|
A module, once imported, is (or becomes) a namespace. Path is where to fine
|
|
the text for modules.

Yes. For 'how', check contents of ntpath. For when, when you want to import
|
|
modules not on explicit paths in sys.pyth (so that they are in '.') or when
|
|
you want to open files for reading and writing by simple name without a path.
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure about some of other questions. Hope this helps. I also work on
|
|
Win95 and have few problems.
