The reason you will have a better results running this from the command line is that Python will normally give you very good error traceback. An IDE might hide or obscure the problem, but it should be fairly easy to figure out if you see the error traceback. The error will usually be on that line, but sometimes (especially with syntax errors) it might be the line (or two) previous to the line shown. If you do not know how to run on the command line, post back letting us know (and what operating system) and we can guide you. It is not difficult but can sometimes be awkward or intimidating for people.

The problem is the "if" and "else" lines are indented one level too far. If you match them with the previous line it should work just fine. ~Ramit This email is confidential and subject to important disclaimers and conditions including on offers for the purchase or sale of securities, accuracy and completeness of information, viruses, confidentiality, legal privilege, and legal entity disclaimers, available at http://www.jpmorgan.com/pages/disclosures/email. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

As the compiler tells you, that's a syntax error. The return statement starts with an 'r' Please use only text editors to edit code, and use copy/paste to copy the actual source to your message, while composing the message in text mode. We cannot tell who has mangled the code, but only how it happens to look after the mangling is finished. If it ever goes through a word processor, or through an html message (which your is), then all bets are off. Another thing. Copy/paste the actual error message, including the traceback. Don't summarize it, or paraphrase it. -- DaveA ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

The "" around tails and heads are not ascii quote characters. They are what some word processors change ascii quotes into to meet typesetting requirements.
