[SciPy-user] weird

[Howey, David A]

I'm new to Python, so just working through the tutorials on python.org

The question is, why doesn't this work:

In [34]: if x<0:
   ....:     print 'blah'
   ....:     elif x == 0:
------------------------------------------------------------
   File "<console>", line 3
     elif x == 0:
        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


Surely this is the simplest thing? Does is have a problem with 'elif'?
But it's in the tutorial!!
