save a session in idle - akbarza - Nov-05-2023

hi
suppose I am learning Python in idle. I want to save this session because I want to work on it for later(suppose I want to back to it tomorrow or some hours later).
is there any way to save this session in idle?

Have you looked at the menus?

What do you mean by "save this session"?

You can save a program/script file and use the file at a later time. You can save variable values to a file and restore them (json, pickle). I know of no way to save the current state of an interactive python interpreter.

hi and thanks
I looked and explored the menu bar at idle, but I did not find anything.

I want this. suppose I am learning Python with idle. in idle I write some functions and variables and import commands and....
I want these for the next time that I continue to learn ( after lunch Smile

). With the turn of the computer, I will lose them. What can I do to have them for the next session of my learning? ( Note: I have turned off the computer)
thanks

ptpython and IPython save all history that typed in a interactive session.
IPython can just use arrow keys(up down) to get earlier code or print all with In [1]: %history -g.
ptpython is most advance Checking Code History and Reinserting Earlier Code.
