I have installed IDLE 3.5.1 and wrote the following to check if print is
working. When it runs, I do not see anything is printed:
class Base: #{

#}

if ( __name__ == " __main__"): #{

Can anyone please point out the reason?
Thanks,

Is name equal to main? That is, are you running this code as a top-level script?
It's not checking whether the name is "__main__", but whether it's "
__main__" (note the space after the first quote).
Also: You do not need to write Python code as if it were C or Java.
All that extra punctuation is just putting unnecessary stress on the
world's punctuation mines, which are already overworked. :)
