The OP has not specified what his problems specifically are, but "earlylight publishing" described his problem before, and he was not understanding why the >>> prompt was expecting immediate keyboard input when he typed in raw_input(). So a noob cannot figure out why it is advantageous to have a raw_input function that immediately asks for input. He thinks, "why can't I put the input in directly?" That is why putting a program into an edit window is very advantageous.
I believe it is very likely that raw_input() is the culprit of confusion here. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
