I am currently taking the 2011 course, but am having a bit of trouble running the code on a python 2.x version shell, everytime I run the code from the lectures it automatically opens up the shell from python 3.4. At first none of the codes worked until I began adding parenthesis on all the print statements, but I also ran into issues with the raw_input function, the code only worked when I used the just the input function? Is anyone having any such issues?

I am currently taking the 2011 course, but am having a bit of trouble running the code on a python 2.x version shell, everytime I run the code from the lectures it automatically opens up the shell from python 3.4.  At first none of the codes worked until I began adding parenthesis on all the print statements, but I also ran into issues with the raw_input function, the code only worked when I used the just the input function?  Is anyone having any such issues?

If you have python 3.4 as the default, then you may need the proper path to run the 2.x stuff.

If you have python 2.x installed but not in your $PATH then you can still run the problems in that shell by running them like this, "python27 program.py"
