[Tutor] Python trouble
Ok let me try to be more clear. I am trying to write code in the IDLE Python GUI of python 2.7. When I open the new python shell, there is a written header as well as the three >s on the left side. I now those are used as indents and I do not type them in. However, whenever I write any type of code and either attempt to run or click alt + x to check module, it says "there is an error in your program: invalid syntax." Then when it goes back to the page to highlight the syntax error the second > is highlighted in color as it is the problem. Before I deleted the header from this program, it would highlight the 7 after the 2. In the header.

[Tutor] Problem with running Python
Hello all, I am new to programming on Python and am teaching myself. I have figured out some basics of coding, however whenever I try to run the program or check its functionality (Alt + X on my windows) it always comes back saying that "there's an error in your program: invalid syntax." However, when it returns to the IDLE page and highlights the error, it highlights the 7 in the python 2.7.1 above any coding. And if I am able to delete that text, it then links the syntax error to the multiple '>' in the code. Is this a common issue with a simple fix?
