error

[Nick Sarbicki]

Where are you running the code from?

The interactive prompt? (E.g. idle, or after you type "python" at the
terminal) or from the terminal? (as in by typing "python p2.py" at the
terminal).

It looks like you're trying to load a file while in the interactive prompt
which won't work that way (it will work if you type "import p2"). When you
should be using "python p2.py" at the terminal.
