Question

Obviously it helps to have the interpreter to debug, but I prefer to execute commands in terminal. Is there any way to make it run the python program, then startup an interpreter with the variables and functions created already in there. My current command is this:

python main.py < tests/1.in

Does anyone know how to modify it to make the variables and functions accessible after runtime?

Answer 1

Use the -i flag:

python -i main.py < tests/1.in
