I am an absolute beginner and am working through the book Python Programmin=
g for the Absolute Beginner by Michael Dawson.  Everything is fine except i=
f I run a scripted programme, or one I have downloaded, and then run anothe=
r one, the second one will not run, I just get the >>> in the interactive w=
indow.  I have to exit Python and start again, when the second programme th=
en runs fine.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

David
