What development tool are you using? I would change it, if it doesn't display a full error trace then it is depriving you of one of the most useful tools in Python! > It's not possible to copy and paste a highlight. > There was no error message except for the fact that r2 was highlighted. And how was the r2 highlighted? Again, what tool are you using? If you must stick with that tool then at least try running your code through the standard Python interpreter which will let you see the full error message, you can then paste that to us. > Anyway, now I understand about uppercase and lower case, > so I won't get a syntax error for this reason again. True, but there are many possible errors that you will get and not being able to clearly see the error text will be a big handicap to you and to us if you post a query.
