4,437 PointsI'm working in a launched workspace, and I forgot how to run a script saved as (string_split_Li. . ._py) in the console.
My line of thinking was that all I needed to do was to activate Python in the console and then call the file name (that I had already saved) at the shell>>> prompt, e.g.:
strings_List_Split_join.py ## that is a messy file/object name, haha
Here is copied code:
treehouse:~/workspace$ python
Python 3.5.0 (default, Feb 4 2016, 22:53:39)
[GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-4)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
strings_Lists_Split_join.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'strings_Lists_Split_join' is not defined
------------- I also tried to do some similar things like these below ----
import("strings_List_Split_join.py") load("strings_List_Split_join.py")
Thank you for you help!

>>> import strings_List_Split_join
Then refer to functions as strings_List_Split_join.function_name()
To run the code as if typed interactively use:
>>> from strings_List_Split_join import *
