Just out of interest I use Ubuntu Linux and gedit is the editor.

Yes I am going through the Michael Dawson book. Also, I am working from
the Alan Gauld book to reinforce my attempts at learning python.

but here is my effort. An added bit is the ability to go on using the
code until you are fed up.
#To check the computers odds and evens
import random
anothergo = "y"
while(anothergo != "n"):

I am also trying to learn python and came across
I am greatly impressed by the most useful instruction I have received
since I raised my need for help on this subject. The more I read the

I use Ubuntu Linux and Python 2.4.1 comes with it. All I need to do is
to open a terminal and type python and press enter. What's the problem?
