Option 1 (Neutral):
Hey everyone, quick question—what does -i mean in Python?

I’ve seen it used in command lines like `python -i script.py`, but not sure what it actually does. Does it keep the interpreter open after running the script?

Would love a simple explanation or example. Thanks!

Option 2 (Casual):
yo python peeps, what does -i mean in Python?

like, i ran `python -i myfile.py` and it dropped me into the interpreter after. is that the whole point? or am i missing something?

kinda handy for debugging, maybe?

Option 3 (Troubleshooting):
so i just stumbled across `-i` in Python and... what does it do exactly?

ran a script with it and suddenly i’m in interactive mode. is that its only job? or are there other sneaky uses?

anyone got the deets?

(also, why’s it called -i? inquiring minds wanna know lol)
