First, let me say thanks for all the responses! This definitely looks like a useful mailing list for complete noobs like me.
Second, I think my machine is probably set up a little weird. I have Python 2.6.2 installed alongside 3.1.1 so maybe that makes a difference. I'm writing programs in TextMate and running them from there. Which seemed to be working fine until I ran into this "input" issue.
At any rate, I've installed 2.6.2 over again from a fresh download and I think I can move ahead. The example works now as long as I change "input" to "raw_input". This should allow me to get through some more of this tutorial book anyway.
Thanks again, all! I appreciate the help. - Warren (war...@wantonhubris.com) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
