437 PointsSyntax Error
I've just started the python course, and have run into unexpected problems. When I try to do something simple as help(print), I receive this error message in the Console:
-su: syntax error near unexpected token `print'
Yes, there is two different apostrophes there.
Anyone knows why this is happening?

python
... At the prompt >>> help(print)
?
Martin Fjellhøy
437 PointsAh, I feel like an idiot..
Forgot to run python first, I wrote help(print) directly..
It works now.. Thanks for your help! :)
