Would someone kindly review the following code and error? This sample
program is copied from Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner (2nd
ed.) I'm running Python 2.3.5 (#62, Feb 8 2005, 16:23:02) [MSC v.1200 32
bit (Intel)] on win32. (Python 2.3 is the version referenced in this
edition.) Referenced lines 8 and 9 of the error are the 3rd and 2nd lines
from the last in the code. Thank you very much.
