Just starting with Python. Installed: Python 2.7 pywin32-214.win32-py2.7.exe pyserial-2.5.win32.exe on a Home WinXP SP3 Toshiba laptop with 2GB memory. Open Python and try to do simple I/O test and can't even get past first line. Transcript below. You will see that __name__ is defined as '__main__" but path is not defined. Could this be due to creating the folder holding the Python.exe being on the E: drive or for some other obscure reason? The DOS path environmental variable includes: e:\Program Files\Python27 Thanks in advance for for any help. **********transcript*************
