Hey, everyone, I am new to programming and just downloaded Python 2.6
onto my windows vista laptop. I am attempting to follow 4.11 of the
tutorial called "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with
Python v2nd Edition documentation"
(http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english2e/ch04.html).
However, I am having some trouble. I am trying to use pydoc to search
through the python libraries installed on my computer but keep getting
an error involving the $ symbol.
$ pydoc -g
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I make a guess - that you are typing $ pydoc -g at the Python
Interpreter prompt (>>>)
The manual recommends typing it a the shell prompt. In which case the $
represents the prompt and you should just type pydoc -g.
