If typed or directly imported into idle it does work. When doing the
following it did not work (specifically the print statement was never
executed)

Ctrl-N (New Window)
type in the code
Ctrl-S (Save)
F5    (Run module)

It does not work. I found a similar post back on deja about a few
months back, but could not find a resolution for it posted.
