In the book I am using, they give the following function as an
example:
def copyFile(oldFile, newFile):
f1 = open(oldFile, 'r')
f2 = open(newFile, 'w')
while True:
text = f1.read(50)
if text == "":
break
f2.write(text)
f1.close()
f2.close()
I think this is maybe the most basic problem possible, but I can't get
even the most basic Python to run on OS X using Terminal or IDLE. I
used the IDLE editor to create a file with one line of code
print 'text string'
and I saved the file as module1.py. When using terminal I entered
"python" to

The explaination in my introductory Python book is not very
satisfying, and I am hoping someone can explain the following to me:
>>> 4 / 5.0
