If you do, it highlights the first line of code with a red background and prints the error: SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement For example: Python 3.3.0rc3 (default, Sep 27 2012, 18:44:58) [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-52)] on linux Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information. >>> # Define some colors BLACK = (0, 0, 0) WHITE = (255, 255, 255) GREEN = (0, 255, 0) RED = (255, 0, 0) SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement >>> I can't show the colour highlighting, but the line BLACK = ... is highlighted in red.
