Other people already told you what the problem is.
I suggest reading a book/tutorial written for the *same* Python version  
you're using (2.x; it doesn't matter 2.6, 2.5, 2.4...).
Once you know the basics of the language, you may look at the differences  
in the "What's new?" document for Python 3.0 - but right now, they will  
just confuse you.
