can anyone explain why the simple script
a=3Draw_input('Please enter your name: ')
print 'elephants'
....doesn't work
I'm using IDLE 0.5 under windows 98se from the 1.5.2 distribution
if I save this 'window' and 'run module' from edit (that's another q, =
why's it a 'module' and not a 'script'?)
it doesn't get to the second line i.e. I can't get it to print elephants
yours mystified,
extreme python beginner
