<DIV>Do you need to use copy and paste? For instance, say all your</DIV>
<DIV>functions are in a file called "factorization.py". In IDLE, you could</DIV>
<DIV>type "import factorization", and then you'll be able to call your</DIV>
<DIV>functions by typing things like "factorization.gcd(x, y)".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>>>> import "c:\\math\\factoring\\factor30.py"<BR>SyntaxError: invalid syntax<BR>>>> </DIV>

<DIV>>>> import "c:\math\factoring\factor30.py"<BR>SyntaxError: invalid syntax<BR>>>> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>******************</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you change the code, you can reload the module by using the</DIV>
<DIV>'reload' builtin function.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>****************</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Could you explain this more. I'm not compiling or recompiling the function</DIV>
<DIV>subroutine.</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Have you tried restarting IDLE? The first thing to do would be to</DIV>
<DIV>verify that the problem is what you think it is (as opposed to a bug</DIV>
<DIV>in your code, for example).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Yes. I made a mistake.</DIV>
