i have typed the following program from the book = "learn python the hard way":

from sys import =

, , , third =
=3D argv

print "The script is called:"script
print "Your first variable is:", first
print "Your second variable is:", second
print "Your third variable is:", third

then i get = this error:

Traceback (most recent = call last):

File "/Users/leonardo/Documents/ex13.py", = line 3, in <module>

script, first, second, = third =3D argv

ValueError: need more than 1 value to = unpack

in the book the author says that i = should run the program like this:

$ =
python ex13.py first 2nd 3rd
The script is called: ex13.py
Your first variable is: first
Your second variable is: 2nd
Your third variable is: 3rd

but = how can i do that?? what are the steps? where should i = go?
