How can I run a script inside the Python shell effectively?

Hey everyone!

So, I’ve been trying to figure out how to run script inside Python shell without it being a total pain. Like, I know you can just copy-paste the code, but that feels kinda clunky, y’know?

Is there a smoother way to do this? Maybe something like importing it or using exec()? I’ve heard mixed things about exec() though, so not sure if it’s the best move.

Also, does anyone have tips for debugging when you run script inside Python shell? Sometimes it feels like I’m just throwing stuff at the wall and hoping it sticks lol.

Thanks in advance! 🙌
