[Edu-sig] Getting Started

1. Simple Question

  I want to load a python program and "run" it.  For instance, from the
tutorial:
def countdown(n):
  if n == 0:
    print "Blastoff!"
  else:
    print n
    countdown(n-1)

I save this as count.py.  Go into python.  Then what do I do?

Here's the error message I'm getting:

>>> import countdown
>>> countdown(3)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: object of type 'module' is not callable
>>>

2.  What's the best way to do GUI in python?  PyGTK?


Thanks,
 Randy L
