The solution to get answers is to give details. But to play the clairvoyant: /If/ you tried to run the program from a command prompt or from by klicking on the file there should be no problems. /If/ you tried to run the program by importing it from the Python shell, then this is normal. A hyphen is not allowed in module names at it is the same character as in subtractation. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
