So you have to issue this in a shell. You can create a shell in Aquamacs by typing `ESC x shell' (without the quotes). Another possibility, after Python-> start interpreter, is Python->Execute Buffer. For small snippets of code this may be easier, but for complete programs the shell method may be better. A shell can also be run outside of Aquamacs with the Terminal application. -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@cs.uu.nl> URL: http://pietvanoostrum.com [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: p...@vanoostrum.org _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
