[Tutor] Problem with running Python

[Alex Butler]

Hello all,

 

I am new to programming on Python and am teaching myself.  I have figured
out some basics of coding, however whenever I try to run the program or
check its functionality (Alt + X on my windows) it always comes back saying
that "there's an error in your program: invalid syntax."  However, when it
returns to the IDLE page and highlights the error, it highlights the 7 in
the python 2.7.1 above any coding.  And if I am able to delete that text, it
then links the syntax error to the multiple '>' in the code.  Is this a
common issue with a simple fix?  Thanks

 

Alex Butler
