If you had included the sample lines in your message, instead of an attachment, then it'd be part of the mailing list, and I would've been happier to help. As it is, you attached a blurry image, rather than just pasting the actual text. Remember, this is a text mailing list. BTW, what shell is that? The error message seems to be singularly unhelpful.

Where's your leading quote, the one before the \n ? And where's the trailing quote at the end of the last line? And why are there two + signs in a row on the second line? There may be other typos, but I can't tell, since it's not text that I can paste into my own shell.
Also Programming Lanquage Question:
I have studied and an fairly proficient at XHTML and CSS, I tried Javascript
but just didn't like it for some reason..so I am trying Python which so far
fits my personality, needs, whatever that part is that makes you choose a
lanquage. Will I be able to use Python in web pages as I would of used
Javascript?  From what I have read there are Python to Javascript
converters?...
Thanks in advance..

I don't know any way to run Python in the browser, without convincing the user to download something. That's what Javascript is (sort of) useful for. However, python makes a great language for the backend, in other words to run on the server, generating the pages.

There's lots of overlap, but each can do things the other cannot. For the most obvious, javascript in the browser can run user interaction much more readily, and responsively. And python (or many other choices) can interact with the server's file system (eg. database) and other resources much more readily than javascript could.

I use python for desktop programming, and for statically generating web pages. I haven't done any serious server-side programming yet, but I will.
