Hello, I figured out the issue. It was a silly mistake - i was not running the correct code; instead was running code from another program which was active on a second tab. Thank you. On Sunday, May 1, 2016 4:15 PM, Jason N. via Tutor wrote: Thank you all for your

Thank you all for your responses.  I am using Py 2.7 and this time I copied and pasted the code from here: http://www.opentechguides.com/how-to/article/python/57/python-ping-subnet.html  to my system but received the same error when I ran it.  You can see the error screenshot here:

The novice Python programmer is back. I'm trying to incorporate a function and its call in the GrossPay.py script that Alan solved for me. It computes total pay based on two inputs, no. of hours and hourly rate. There's a computation for overtime payments in the if statement. Something seems to
