I strongly recommend you switch to running under Python 3.x - do not take the simple advice that might make it work in both, because you have other differences which will trip you up. In Python 2, the input function is extremely dangerous and should be avoided: it *evaluates* its argument. (If you really *want* to evaluate something, you can call the eval() function explicitly. You don't want it to be hidden behind the innocuously-named input().) Download Python 3.3 (or later) and start using that; you'll find it's by far the better interpreter - years of improvements on top of the version you're using there. ChrisA
