welcome

a few requests to make your experience wonderful:
- provide a meaningful subject so we can track the correspondence.
- reply-all so a copy goes to the list
- put your responses following the text you are responding to rather 
than at the top
- give us enough information so we can duplicate what you are doing.

what OS are you running?
you call this code. It appears to be something one would enter at a 
terminal or command prompt.
what did you do to run this
exactly what error did you get?

my guess is that you tried to run the above as a python program (e.g. 
within IDLE or at a python interpreter prompt.

The more info you give us the easier it is for us to help.
