Hi

I'm relatively new to programming and I've decided to give it my best shot with Python. I am used to Emacs for general editing and would like to stick with it for Python but I have a (hopefully) small problem. If I enter a very simple bit of code such as:-

in Emacs and hit ctrl-c ctrl-c, I get an error like this:-

Enter your time - Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
EOFError: EOF when reading a line

But if I run the code in Geany for example there's no error. I can open an ansi-term in another buffer and use that to run the code but I wondered if anyone had any pointers on the best way to work with Emacs for Python development and whether I could set Emacs to run Python code correctly when I hit the keybinding?

I'm running Debian Squeeze btw.

I hope I'm making sense

Have you installed the "python-mode" package?

The emacs wiki has a pretty informative page about using Emacs as a python IDE; I've used a lot of that advice in my own setup. http://emacswiki.org/emacs/PythonProgrammingInEmacs
