Let me guess, you're using Python 3.1. That book was written for Python 2.x and there were several backwards-incompatible changes. For instance, print was changed from a statement to a function. Which is why the "Hello, World" doesn't work any more. If you want to use the older books, use Python 2.6 instead. > > > > > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
