Thanks for the report! Sorry about the confusion caused by the
outdated tutorial, but I'm glad you figured it out for yourself.
The Python 3 tutorial has a better explanation that still applies to
Python 2, which will eventually be backported to the Python 2.7
tutorial; see http://bugs.python.org/issue14097.
Welcome to Python, I hope you enjoy using it!
Regards,
