[Tutor] New guy question...

[Robert Berman]

Hi,

I noticed this: #!/usr/bin/env python3.... which I think indicates you
are using python version 3. I strongly suspect you are reading a text
based on one of the version 2 issues of python.

You might consider dropping back  a version(such as 2.6.) since most
learning texts are not updated to work with Version 3.
