I'm guessing that you are trying to run this from the Python interactive prompt (>>>)? In fact, you should run it from an OS shell prompt (you don't say which OS but in Windoze thats a CMD prompt, in MacOS the Terminal App and in Linux whichever of the many Terminal apps you use...) The clue is that you are getting a syntax error - which is usually from Python, but the command begins with 'python' which is how you call the interpreter from the OS. I suspect the phrase "...enter the following command on python:" is a little misleading, it should say something like "enter the following command at an OS shell prompt" hth -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
