lucifer, check your version of Python. I guess it's 3.x and 2.x is used in the course, and by most people here.

lucifer · Answer

python version = IDLE version = 2.7.2, Tk version = 8.5

lucifer · Answer

can't get yours to work den2042, I should not enter a command, then name, then command ... Rather, python should ask the questions consecutively, then print. The '
' is a new thing for me though. I'll try to play around with it.

maitre_kaio · Answer

lucifer, are you always typing your code in the IDLE shell ?

lucifer · Answer

yes, where then?

maitre_kaio · Answer

lucifer · Answer

lucifer · Answer

Ok, so must do it in a new window. heh.  den2042's code does exactly what I want. How could I have known to open new window -- lectures, book, google? At any rate, maitre_kaio, humbly, I offer this medal tribute. lol
