[Tutor] Win '98 python

[Brian Morud]

Sorry for not including enough details.  It's a really short, easy
script, written as a text file, saved with a .py extension.  The script
is:

import string
phrase = "some phrase here"
i = 0
while ( i < 100 )
	print phrase,i
	i = i + 1


That's it.  When I am in the python directory, which is also where the
script is located, I type "python my_python.py" and nothing gets printed
out.  I've tried it with both "print phrase,i" and "printf("%s %s"
%(phrase,i))" but when I run it from the MSDOS promtp, nothing prints
out, ever.

Thanks for taking a look at this.

Brian
