Hi everyone, I'm new to this and was needing help with trying to learn/work 
with Python 2.7 on my computer. I'm running Windows 7 and trying to learn 
python programming from an older book from 1999 by Mark Lutz and David 
Ascher my boss gave me, and for some reason none of my script/modules for 
the exercises are working on my comp. Mostly they give either a syntax error 
on the python command line or something about the file/module not being 
found on the windows command line. Also, does anyone where i can find/get 
something similar to the book for my own?

Post actual code and actual results including error messages (cut-n-paste) 
and you'll get better answers.

Google is your friend for finding books and tutorials.
