fruit="ramadana"
print "fruit heeft als type", type(fruit)
y=len(fruit)
print y

z=fruit[:3]
print z


These lines put in a module and executed print (using Python 2.7):

fruit heeft als type <type 'str'>
8
ram

Strange that it doesn't work for you.

I can only advice you to check the file again or run the code from the Python shell.

HTH,

Jan
