Hi,
I'm trying to learn Python in Windows XP. I've been going through the
Python version of Allen Downey's open source textbook. I frequently
find that the instructions he gives don't work for me when I try to
run them in IDLE. For example, in Ch. 4 he says you should load up

That's because you're doing it in interactive mode. In interactive mode,
the code is treated like commands, it is executed immediately after the
command is finished. You may differentiate Interactive Mode and
Normal/Coding Mode by the prompt, in Coding Mode there is no prompt

I'm a bit curious about how you do the timing. I think there is a flaw
in how you measured the time. I made this code and the result is
inconclusive.

def b():
a = 1
r = range(500)

If it was me, I'd elaborate it a bit more by separating between program
(logic) and story (data). This would make it possible to tell story
without touching the program's code.
like this (in pseudocode):

while True:
print query.prompt

What is this for? It should at least be t_B, t_C, t_D.

This is a no-no. What if you have a path like this:
'C:\nice\try'
what do you think would python be doing?
It would parse \n as newline and \t as tab
You should do this instead:
r'C:\nice\try'
OR

You might also want to consider using the path walk
facility in Python's standard lib as well, so you
can recurse into subdirectories doing this (if that

Look at where you're checking the file time. You're
not checking the file itself, but '.' (the time of the
current directory).

You should do this instead:

the first way is called raw string, the backslash lose its meaning
the second way is by escaping the backslash.
Or just use forward slashes which work on *nix or windows...
