Hi, I am completely new to programming and am trying textmate out based on some reviews I've read. I'm learning python as my first language.
My question is this: I am writing basic small programs in python and when I run the program to see if it works, even if it works properly it always finishes the output with the last data that I enter into it.
For example, if I enter:
n = input("Please enter a whole number: ") fact = 1 for factor in range(n, 1, -1): fact = fact * factor
print "The factorial of", n, "is", fact
When I run the program (with an input of '10'):
' Please enter a whole number: The factorial of 10 is 3628800 10'
When I run the program in IDLE I don't get the extra output.
Thank you.

TextMate injects code into python so that it may notice when you call “input” and show a dialog. Whatever you enter into the dialog will then be echoed in the output (this mimics how the terminal behaves, when you type a character it is echoed in the terminal). I don't know how exactly IDLE is handling this, but if you run your program in terminal you'll see what I mean.

Alex,
This is configurable behaviour of interactive input. The TM_INTERACTIVE_INPUT env var controls this via the presence of “ECHO” in it's value.
e.g.
TM_INTERACTIVE_INPUT=ALWAYS|ECHO
or
TM_INTERACTIVE_INPUT=ECHO
Do we expose control of this through executor?
