My program isn't running, though.
The simple fix to get you going is to change your ``if __name__ == 'main':`` statement to ``if __name__ == '__main__':`` (add two underscores on each side of "main"). To debug this for yourself, try putting ``print(__name__)`` right before your ``if __name__ ...`` line, and see what is printed when you run it in different ways. Hope this helps, and if you need any more help or a more in-depth explanation of what's going on, please don't hesitate to ask :) Regards, -- Zach _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
