It's neither an error message nor does it come from Python. It's a message from your shell about job control. Seems you have stopped the running process, which happens to be Python, by pressing <ctrl>+<z> or <ctrl>-<y> for example. > Please explain to me the role of the '+' sign. Refer to the manual of your shell. I guess it says, that the stopped process was/is the current job, i.e. the one commands like ``fg`` or ``bg`` operate on if you leave out the argument.
