[docs] Tutorial problem

[Joe McDonald]

Hello,

 

I don't know if I'm emailing the right place, but in the Python Tutorial
2.7.1 by Guido van Rossum, Chapter 7, I tried the examples on the
interpreter and got:

 

>>> print 'This {food} is {adjective}.'.format(food='spam',
adjective='absolutely horrible')

 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<pyshell#20>", line 1, in -toplevel-

    print 'This {food} is {adjective}.'.format(food='spam',
adjective='absolutely horrible')

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'format'

 

Other examples from this chapter gave similar results. Am I missing
something? I had tried "import string", but that didn't affect the result.
