I have the latest python version too when I first started "A Byte of Python" my
code wouldn't work either. My problem was that I was programming in the shell
(the screen with the three '>>>' on it). I found when I wrote the examples in
a new window (cntrl+N) they all worked as advertized. He never mentions that
you need to use an 'editing window' (I think it's called). I just stumbled
across the fact.
