Python Shell: File "<stdin>", line 1 ?

Hey Guys,

I tipped in the code as taught, but I got an error: File "<stdin>", line 1. This already happened in another tasks, it seems not to be a coding mistake.

Thanks in Advance

Kris

I think this happens when there's an issue with the interpreter accepting input in the python shell.

Are you trying to run a script from within Python Shell?

If you run a command "python filename.py" from within the Python Shell this will not work.

Try typing .exit() to get back to the normal command line and then rerun your script.

In the Console I tipped in >>>exit() and got out of the Python Shell. Its still not working.
