Question

does anybody know anything about '> ' ?

context
from sys import argv
script, user_name = argv
prompt = '> '

print("Hi %r, I'm the %s script" %(user_name, script))
print("I'd like to ask you a few questions.")
print("Do you like me, %s?" %user_name)
likes = input(prompt)

Answer 1

Prompt is the value that the prompt will start with when you call input. For instance you could change the last line to:
prompt('>')
and have the same affect.
