modules don't get loaded into interactive-shell [SOLVED] [message #1048719]

still trying to set up Eclipse correctly (with pydev) for python.

after running/loading a module, the interactive-shell doesn't recognize the variables from my program.
I want it to be able to, so I can test the programs I write in an interactive console.

(from the screenshot you can see that I tried to call "var1" but error occured)

am I doing something wrong? I'm sure this is a very newbie question. thank you for any answers

This is probably more appropriately asked in a (the) PyDev forum. If you
don't get an answer here, this is why.

after a ton of google searching (over the span of two days) I finally found the solution.

the pydev interactive shell in Eclipse is oblivious to your projects/modules until you load it into the shell by using this command: execfile('/home/pathtoyourmodule/eclipsework/Project 1/Module1.py')

a short-cut is using the hotkey ctrl+alt+enter while your program/module is in focus. (this will auto-load it into the interactive-shell)

this applies to Eclipse 3.8.0

P.S. there is no official PyDev forum, only a few un-official discussion boards that look like ghost-towns
