Unfortunately the Prime doesn't allow for selected imports or runs. One work around is to enclose all programs in "def xx():" you do this on the Numworks too usually, don't you?

Consider you have 2 programs "main" and "another"

Then "main" may have as content:

Code:

def foobar():
    print("this is from main")

and "another" may have as content:

Code:

def foobar():
    print("this is from another")

Then upon starting Python you'll see both modules imported but not executed.

Entering "main.foobar()" will then show: "this is from main"
consequently
"another.foobar()" will then show: "this is from another"

That's a bit cumbersome, hopefully someone does a thorough repair on the Python implementation.

I'll elaborate a bit on this at the HHUC at Orlando.

After an import, NumWorks will automatically run a program that is not included in a function.

If you import the program below, Numworks will automatically run the code and print 7. If you remove the # and indent the print statement, then nothing will run automatically when this code is imported.

Code:

def addit(x,y):
  return x+y

#def main():
print(addit(5,2))
