I get pretty much the same results including the freeze, but I do see 
a Hello button. I don't know what the story is here, but noticed that 
before running this, the author launches python with a startup script 
called runpy, so that may have something to do with it. I haven't 
experimented, but you might study the preceding pages to see what 
runpy is all about.
