Please tell a bit more about your work environment (editors, IDEs, computer OS, etc). The basic answer to your question is to edit the code in a file of its own, and to run it is a separate action, from that file. As an example, my coding environment contains an editor window and a shell (command line) window. (Plus doco in a web browser, etc, as needed.) So open a file with a useful name (start with "program1.py", but pick something more apt depending on the task) and open an editor on that file. When ready to test, save the file (probably a single key command in most editors, or the ever popular "File->Save" menu option). Then in another window, run it: python program1.py So you don't write code, test and _then_ save. You write code and save. Then test from the saved file. Cheers, Cameron Simpson I'm Bubba of Borg. Y'all fixin' to be assimilated.
