I'd been looking forward to this particular lesson all semester, but when I got home and copied a sample program from my textbook verbatim, IDLE does nothing. No error, no nothing. Any ideas?

I'm not an IDLE user, but I wouldn't be surprised if IDLE interferes 
with some GUI apps.   I'd run your code from the bash prompt.
