Hi,
Thanks for your input. I'm presently downloading enthought python - no asian
mirror, so it'll take a really long time to download even on broadband at
10kbps) - but I don't think it's a distro problem. I'm probably not doing it
right as I'm now using IDLE and still have the same problem. For example, here
is the traceback for a simple file I made and tried to run in IDLE:
# test.py
x = 1 + 1
print x
In IDLE, I tried to run it by typing test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#13>", line 1, in <module>
test.py
NameError: name 'test' is not defined
However, when I open the file in IDLE using the menu, and then run it also
from the menu, it works.
Am I not calling the program properly?
p.s. Wonder why word wrap didn't work on my first post. Thanks to all who
scrolled.
