You may also be able to run "cat dictionaries.py", grab the text with your mouse, start python3, and then spit the text into the interpreter, however I'm not sure that works on all operating systems.
But in the end, there's nothing wrong with a little typing. :-)

You can then access the course variable by referencing it by name instead of referencing the imported module first (e.g. dictionaries.course) as you would if you just typed "import dictionaries" directly into the python console. I tend to use "python3 -i ..." frequently and it works great for me so I figured I would add onto Adrian's answer.
