Ok let me try to be more clear. I am trying to write code in the
IDLE
Python GUI of python 2.7.
start a command that goes over two or more lines, the prompt will
change to three dots ...
Sadly in IDLE it won't do this (I hate that feature of IDLE!)
but it will indent the cursor for you, padding the line with tabs.
Please COPY and PASTE an example of the system error. Do not retype
it, especially not from memory, but actually copy and paste the
complete error, including the line it claims is invalid, and paste
it into a reply. Like this:
Again IDLE makes this difficult if you are running from a New Window
because it presents the error in a pop up dialog, while highlighting
the "faulty line" in the edit window, but please do try to send the
actual error text.
