Script Bug?

[Omar]

okay,I'm going through this python tutorial, and according to the
tutorial, I can type this:

myList = [1,2,3,4]
for index in range(len(myList)):
myList[index] += 1
print myList

however, in my IDLE python shell, when I type

[QUOTE][QUOTE][QUOTE]
>>myList = [1,2,3,4]
>>for index in range(len(myList)):[/QUOTE][/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

it just gives me a prompt

[QUOTE][QUOTE][QUOTE]
>>[/QUOTE][/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

?

why doesn't it just bring me to line three? I need to have
persistence, cause little snags like these discourage me. I know I
need thicker skin to write code.

any advice is appreciated

Omar,

The

 and

tags are markup to tell you where the code starts
and stops. They are not python. Ignore them. Type the rest into the
interpreter and see what happens.

Re: Script Bug?

no, i put those there.

i have restarted IDLE and it now works. a friend told me it was a bug
in IDLE.

I'd like to try activepython, but i can't dl it from work (that site is
blocked for some reason). anybody got the install for it, or a mirror
location for it?

You can use PythonWin instead, which is good enough.

Still, I have been using IDLE for years and have never run into this,
nor heard of such a bug from anyone else. Do you know how to recreate
it?

reduce(lambda m,x:[m[i]+s[-1] for i,s in enumerate(sorte d(m))],
[[chr(154-ord(c)) for c in '.&-&,l.Z95193+1 79-']]*18)[3]
