The problem is precedence. print "%s - %s" % name,score is equivalent to: print ("%s - %s" % name),score not: print "%s - %s" % (name,score) The % operator binds more tightly than the comma, so you need to put parentheses around the argument to % (as in the last line above). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
