You've posted a few similar type questions lately that look suspiciously 
like homework exercises. If that is the case we are still happy to help 
but we try to avoid giving you the answer directly.
And we do like to see what you have tried first.

Thats a start but as you found out doesn't even execute.

Others have suggested some options but it would help us if you tell us 
which version of Python you are using because Python 3 offers some 
different mechanisms to Python v2. (You can tell us the OS too for 
completeness but it probably doesn't make much difference for the 
questions you have been asking)
