Hi to everyone,

    I am playing around with python and I have 1 quetions where I hope
someone can help

I have this problem:

>>> a='a'
>>> prt='print'
>>> t=prt+' '+a
>>> t
'print a'

now when I try to:
>>> eval(t)
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<pyshell#18>", line 1, in ?
    eval(t)
  File "<string>", line 1
    print a
        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

can someone explain me what I am doing wrong! Why can't I use eval(print)?
Any help is welcome!
