Please post the *full* traceback of the error, not just the last
description.
For example, something like this: x = x+*9
File "<stdin>", line 1
x = x+*9
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Just "SyntaxErro r" on its own is not enough to tell what is going on,
except to say that it sounds like a bug in the program you are trying to
run.

that looks like the Python interpreter window, not the Windows command-
line window.
To run complete Python programs, type "python filename" in the Windows
command-line window (or double-click on filename from the explorer).
the FAQ has more information: http://www.python.org/doc/faq/window...-under-windows

Based on the ">>>" prompt, I'd say you tried to type this
into the python interactive interpreter. It's supposed to be
a shell command -- i.e. you *invoke* the python interpreter
to run the file from the command line.
If you are already running python, then you might get what
you want by importing the module:
import sudoku
but whether that's what you really want or not depends on
how the module is meant to be used (is it a "module" or a
"script"?).
Cheers,
Terry

Hi all.
I'm trying to diagnose/solve a problem with internet explorer, whereby
sometimes the form submits, and other times IE produces an 'invalid
syntax' error.
First, I have a form, and within the form is a button bar and a <div>
block which contains a table of parameters. The div block is used to
create a layer.

hi,
i'm very new to python and am experiencing the following problem:
an identical program that runs on certain computers crashes on other
machines due to Carriage Returns (CR; 0x0a) that
now appear in the source code. I guess it's some kind of character encoding
issue, i.e. ways of saving the source files...
I spent a lot of time trying to fix the problem but wasn't successful until
now.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
