ptpython: Execute a specific Python file and start a REPL.

ptpython

$ ptpython -i ${filename-py}

try on your machine

The command ptpython -i ${filename-py} invokes the ptpython REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) and opens an interactive shell session with the Python interpreter.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

ptpython: This is the name of the command you are running. ptpython is a powerful Python REPL with additional features like syntax highlighting, code completion, and more.
-i: This is a flag that tells ptpython to start an interactive REPL session. With this flag, you can enter Python code and see the results immediately.
${filename-py}: This is a placeholder that represents the filename of a Python script. The ${filename-py} indicates that you need to replace it with the actual name of the Python script you want to run. For example, if your script is named my_script.py, you would replace ${filename-py} with my_script.py.

By using this command, you can run the specified Python script (${filename-py}) in an interactive environment provided by ptpython.
