New submission from Dmitriy Gorbachev <dgorbac...@yahoo.com>:
I am learning Python by running exercises from "Programming Python", Mark Lutz
on both Windows and Mac. While exercises run flawlessly on Windows, sometimes
they do not run on Mac.
In particular, in Chapter 1, Step 2: Storing Records Persistently there is a
script called make_db_file.py. The following function loadDbase (called by
dump_db_file_test.py-see attached) is not working at all on Mac, but working
fine of Windows.
The code breaks on the line: key = input().
The Traceback message is as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "dump_db_file_test.py", line 2, in <module>
db = loadDbase()
File "/Users/DMITRY/PythonScripts/make_db_file_test.py", line 22, in loadDbase
key = input()
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'bob' is not defined
Where 'bob' is the first line of the text file "people-file" that
make_db_file_test.py refers.
