dear experts, while working through Alan C. Goulds excellent update on Learning to Program I copied
the file echoinput.py from the Conversing with the user section: import sys inp = sys.stdin.readline() while inp.strip != '': print(inp) inp = sys.stdin.readline() in my IDLE 3.6 location and another copied a second file in one of my personal folders in my PC (W 10). If I open echoinput.py in IDLE 3.6 I get the script as written. If I open and edit it in my personal folder it opens in a Python 2.7 window although, I deleted Python 2.7 previously. Further on, if I add a print statement to echoinput.py it gets printed regardless of parenteses or none in the echoinput.py file in my personal folder. What causes this odd behavior ? Finally a may be too late comment on the update of Learning to Program : Personally I would appreciate a definition of an instance and in referring to Windows XP Home in the Coding Style section (Note for Windows users) I thought W XP has expired.
