Why did my Shell code vanish?
Short answer. Interactive mode does not save anything.
What does script mode save?
A .py file you can run again.
Two modes
| Point | Interactive | Script |
|---|---|---|
| Runs | one line | whole file |
| Saved? | no | yes, .py file |
| Use for | quick tests | programs |
Remember
| Interactive: quick, not saved |
| Script: saved file, full program |
Shell code vanished after closing. Why? Python runs in two modes. Interactive runs one line, saving nothing. So it vanished. Script mode saves a dot pie file for programs. Interactive is quick, not saved. Script is a saved program.
