#24539

Thank you ever so much raw_input works fine.  Do you think I should stick with Python 2 before I go to 3?
I have a text book which is using 3 but I've been using an online tutorial which has been helping me lots, which uses version 2.
I found by just typing python then having a space and dragging the file from finder into terminal works.

I think so.  The differences are not that big, but big
enough to confuse a beginner.  Once you know pyhton2,
read http://docs.python.org/py3k/whatsnew/3.0.html
That's the official overview of what has changed between
python2 and python3.

If you decide to use the book, you'll want to install Python3
on your Mac.  If you do that, you'll find that typing "python"
in Terminal still gets you python2.7; you have to type "pyhton3"
to get python3.

I just tried it, and it works.  Terminal uses backslashes
to protect characters that need quoting in the shell.  I'd
use single quotes myself, but this also works.
