Hi,


I am v= ery new to Python, I am using the e-book "Python Programming for the A= bsolute Beginner" and am starting with a simple "Game Over" = Program. =C2=A0This is the code:which is extremely simple!
print"Game Over" raw_input("\n\nPress Enter Key to exit= ")

welcome Nicholas

One important thing about python is indentation is importan= t.=C2=A0 You have presented your code in a way that can't be.=C2=A0 Can= you actually copy your program and paste it into an email message.=C2=A0 A= lso, Windows, Linux, Mac?

=C2=A0
That's it.= It is supposed to bring up a window that says "Game Over" and at= the bottom say "Press enter Key to exit" and when you press the = enter key it is supposed to exit(big suprise).
But all it does is highlight "raw_input" and says "inva= lid syntax" Now, if I just put "print "Game Over""= then it says Game Over UNDERNEATH the code I just printed!
now I am following the book to the pixel and that is not what is sup= posed to happen!
Please email me back as soon as you get this...(if you are not to busy).=C2= =A0

Thanks,Nicholas=C2=A0
