Hello all,

I don't have a problem per se, but have noticed something that I'd like to figure out...

Sometimes the "print" function appears orange for me, sometimes it appears purple. Why does this happen and what's the difference anyway? This seems to be the only function that varies like this, but I'm just starting really so perhaps I'll come across more.

The coloring seems to be fairly arbitrary. At least, I haven't noticed a pattern yet.

Using Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Python 2.7.1

I'm stumped. Could it be the glasses you are wearing.

Or could you tell us just a bit more about your situation - such as WHERE does this happen? An editor, IDLE, what?

It happens in IDLE. If I change the spacing (delete an empty line say) the color will change. Experimenting a little bit, the default seems to be orange. When I indent at all, it changes to purple. However, occasionally, it's purple without being indented (can't figure out anything in particular that causes this), though in every instance where this happens, I can change it back to orange by manipulating the spacing (adding an empty line, and then deleting it seems to do the trick).

Thanks.
