Please attach (or better, paste the content in the mail) the file 
Debugging.py we need to see the exact code that you are running not the 
code in the tutorial.

Also what happens if you remove the debugging line and run the same code?

[ Incidentally, most of the things the page says about IPython
can be done nearly as easily in standard Python. Now IPyton is
a fine shell but the page hardly shows its advantages! ]

That shouldn't make much difference but just in case what
happens if you use a CMD prompt window?
