is is possible that you saved the text file in DOS format, with CR-LF endings instead of LF only? If "od -t x2 hello.py" shows 0a0d sequences, this is the case. You could use dos2unix to convert. Just guessing, but I sometimes got similar errors in such cases. Alex -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
