OK, a bit strange, but then that might be due to Thonny. > Is Thonny an interpreter then. It sort of is, or at least it runs one. We'd like to take that out of the equation. I meant to run *just* an interpreter, namely, the interactive shell built into Python itself. IOW, run just "python" (or python3) on a command line and a shell should open in which you can run the line in question.
