I'm attaching the meaning of "deleted the line (manually (not in 
python))" to truncated, I'm actually using ipython, but though it would 
be a good practice to type it out as if it come from the standard 
interpretor. I also though it would be OK to leave out some output which 
I considered unnecessary.
