Here's the essence of your program: print(repr(raw_input())) You can use that to verify what's going on. Try running that with and without the -u option; note, by the way, that -u actually means "unbuffered", not "flush buffers". You're running this under Windows. The convention on Windows is for end-of-line to be signalled with \r\n, but the convention inside Python is to use just \n. With the normal use of buffered and parsed input, this is all handled for you; with unbuffered input, that translation also seems to be disabled, so your string actually contains '120\r', as will be revealed by its repr(). By the way, raw_input() already returns a string. There's no need to str() it. :) ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
