[Tutor] errors in "Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner"??

[Bill Allen]

I will agree that it seems odd, but here is a sample run from my system.  I
promise I am not pulling anyone's leg!   :-))

wallenpb at Ubuntu-D810:~$ python
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:09:56)
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print("hello world")
hello world
>>> x = input("how many?")
how many?5
>>> x
5
