The most likely reason is that you have somehow installed Python v3 and are trying to run code for v2 in v3. What does the IDLE shell window say when it starts? Look at the message that looks like: Python 2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 17:58:13) [GCC 4.8.2] on linux2 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information. >>> Is it v2.7 or 3.x? If that's not the problem can you cut 'n paste a full transcript of your code and the error message? -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
