User-defined variables / compilation

[Jan Thomczek]

Hello,

I´m new to this newsgroup and maybe you´ll say "Wow! What a stupid
question..." I think you´re right-

I used to program in Turbo-Pascal 6. I installed Python on my NT
4.0-machine.

I wonder how is the procedure to define the varibles by a user like
"readln(x);" I´m sure there is a simple way to do so.
Another question is: How do I *compile* the lines I have written to an
*.exe-file?

Thanks in advance,

Jan Thomczek

|  distance of about 10 meters from the surface...  |
