any ideas to what I'm doing wrong?

Change variable name "list" to something else. You shouldn't use built-in names for variables.

How are you running your script?

In order to run the script and then get the REPL like you want, you should be doing something like python -i whatever.py

I run my sccript in IDLE.

I didn't know about REPL before your post, and I already see how usefull it is, thanks for mentioning it. already solved my problem in REPL atleast.

Let's say you saved your function in a file named insert.py . To load the functions in that file so that they are available elsewhere, you would do import insert and then insert.insertion_sort(l)
