The basic problem is you never told Python to DO anything except define what it would do if anyone asked it to. If you add the line "main()" to the bottom you'll get your message printed.
I'm not sure if this is your code or my mail agent (outlook) but as you can see below there's a space between the function name (main) and the parenthesis. I don't believe that's supposed to be there. Good Luck.

I am a elative new comer to python. I wrote the following test snippet. #!/usr/bin/env python def main (): play_test() def play_test (): print "Hi! -- in play test" When I do "python test.py" absolutely nothing happens. I expect it to do the print statement. Thanks in advance for your help. Ken -- The horizon of many people is a circle with a radius of zero.
