[issue16654] IDLE problems with Mac OS 10.6.8 (print syntax)
New submission from stephenhohs: Numerous attempts were made to install (and deinstall) IDLE along with getting the recommended version of ActiveTCL. IDLE will always give a print syntax error with one liners print hello, world. This is occurring for Mac OS 10.6.8 -- components: IDLE messages: 177246 nosy: stephenhohs priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: IDLE problems with Mac OS 10.6.8 (print syntax) versions: Python 3.3 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue16654 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

You can use the formatting quite separately on the string first. my_string = %s %s %s % (1, 2, 3)# creates string 1 2 3 print my_string so you probably would find difficulty is searching for 'print formatting', you should be looking for string formatting. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

What is seems to be is: print format-spec % (variable-list) I assume the '%' is required token. The % has absolutely nothing to do with the print statement. The (old) formatting syntax is based on the C printf syntax but it's actually the modulo operator on a string, not a piece of the print statement. The documentation for it is in the documentation for strings. _ Douglas Denault http://www.safeport.com d...@safeport.com Voice: 301-217-9220 Fax: 301-217-9277 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Mitchell Model m...@acm.org added the comment: Also, while you're at it I think the example should show a call to feed since HTMLParser is unusual in not taking a contents argument when it is created. Nothing wrong with the design, and it is clearly stated at the beginning, but I like examples to be comprehensible at a glance and as self-sufficient as can be conveniently achieved. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6350 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
