Difference Between Python Script Output And Python Console Output

I have this .py file: from sys import argv script, filename = argv print 'We're going to erase %r.' % filename print 'If you don't want that, hit CTRL-C (^C).' print 'If you do w

Solution 1:

a) The interpreter prints the output of the commands by default, but your script doesn't do that unless you use the print statement.

print raw_input('?')

b) The '\n' isn't in the string returned from raw_input, but it's anyway captured by the console when you press enter so this is a side effect you get when using raw_input.

printrepr(raw_input('?'))  # You'll get 'f', not 'f\n'

Solution 2:

a) It does return the string, but you're not saving it in a variable. The interactive interpreter will echo the value in that case.

b) The \n is probably part of the input (your typing), though it's hard to know what exactly you mean.
