try running this: print "START" print "import gzip" import gzip print "import datetime" import datetime print "date = datetime.date.today()" date = datetime.date.today() print "name = date.strftime('%m-%d-%Y')+'.gz'" name = date.strftime('%m-%d-%Y')+'.gz' print "print "The name of the file will be", name" print "The name of the file will be", name print "END" and on the shell, what's the output of `ls`? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
