  I ran the first program given and have run into an error on line 7 at

  what I need to do to correct it.  Any help would be appreciated.  The
  script follows:
 
 
  if_name_ == _main_:
 
  The number of underscores is incorrect. Magic names in Python
 start and end with two underscores. The line should be changed to:
 
 
 if __name__ == __main__:
 
 
 Hope that helps,

Okay this is a real question I have and I am not trying to defend the
actions of Mr. Chui.  I simply wanted to make sure that I have joined
the right list.  Are we allowed to ask total n00b questions on this
list?  If not what level of understanding is presumed before someone
should post a question?
Again, please do not misunderstand, I have no qualms with *refusing*
to do someone's homework for them.  I just want to make sure that
total newbies are welcome here.  If not then a reccomendation for
another list would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your patience and help,
chelan

 Hi Lieu Choon Chui,
 
 I do not want to be rude, but, bluntly speaking, you have to do your own
 work.  Asking us to do it for you is a bit insulting, and I hope you
 understand you've just made a terrible netiquette blunder.  Your homework
 is yours to solve.
 
 Please read:

 If you have questions about Python, we will be happy to help you.  But
 don't dump homework questions on us and expect a useful response.
