Well, I thought that as well but I took it out which makes it run under 2.6.1 and I get similar, but not exactly the same, output:


Type integers, each followed by ENTER; or just ENTER to finish

EOFError: EOF when reading a line

Hi,

I noticed this: #!/usr/bin/env python3.... which I think indicates you are using python version 3. I strongly suspect you are reading a text based on one of the version 2 issues of python.

You might consider dropping back a version(such as 2.6.) since most learning texts are not updated to work with Version 3.

Hey all,

I'm just getting started with Python and I'm working my way through my
first "Learn Python" book on my Mac.  I ran into a weird issue
though.  Here's the example code I'm using:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

print( "Type integers, each followed by ENTER; or just ENTER to
finish" )

total = 0
count = 0

while True:
        line = input()
        
        if line:
                try:
                        number = int(line)
                except ValueErr as err:
                        print( "BLARGH : ", err )
                        continue
                        
                total += number
                count += 1
        else:
                break
                
if count:
        print( "count =", count, "total =", total, "mean =", total / count )
        

Now, what happens is that this starts up and immediately dies, giving
me this error:

Type integers, each followed by ENTER; or just ENTER to finish
Traceback (most recent call last):
   method <module> in test.py at line 9
     line = input()
EOFError: EOF when reading a line

Why is the "input" statement not waiting for input like it should be
and instead killing the app?  My google-fu is failing me on this one.
