Since Python is cross-platform, the operating system is usually the least
important piece of information you need to supply.

What is actually important is the code you are running, and the exact error
message you get.

Show us the code you use, what you expect it to do, and the full traceback
you get. Copy and paste the full traceback: everything from the line

"Traceback (most recent call last)"

all the way to the end of the error message.

questions that will get good answers -- and sometimes even answer them
yourself:
