I'm brand new to python and every time i start to learn it i get the same problem and end up giving up and moving on to another language.
the print statement doesn't work in either the comand line or IDLE i get this in IDLE: SyntaxError: invalid syntax (<pyshell#0>, line 1) and just SyntaxError: invalid syntax in the command line. Even doing the hello world or doing simple sums. If I type "hello, world" i get the right outcome but print "Hello world" i get the error. When i type print it's purple in IDLE if that means anything. I've tried reinstalling python and tried an earlier version with same results. i'm running windows vista home prem 32bit I know i may seem an imbecile for posting such a simple thing but i'm determined to learn it this time i've already learnt vb and C and want to broaden out!
