[Tutor] Taking over a program

[Kent Johnson]

It sounds like you want the -i switch to the interpreter. If you type
 > python -i myprogram.py

Python will run myprogram.py normally, but when myprogram finishes, you 
will get an interpreter prompt and all the names from myprogram will be 
available.
