If no error, restart the shell to clean the environment, then execute the module. Output is displayed in the Shell window. Note that output requires use of print or write. When execution is complete, the Shell retains focus and displays a prompt. At this point, one may interactively explore the result of execution. This is similar to executing a file with python -i file at a command line. Run... Customized Same as Run Module , but run the module with customized settings. Command Line Arguments extend sys.argv as if passed on a command line. The module can be run in the Shell without restarting.
