Did you try to run your script in an external interpreter?
(Menu of Spyder 2.2: Run->Configure->Execute in new, dedicated Python
interpreter?)

Hi Uwe,
Thanks for your thoughts. I'm on the WinXP machine at the moment.
Under the Source menu 'Convert end of line characters' is set to windows.
It's not tab related either. If I type 'print "Hello world" in the
console and then hit enter it correctly prints 'Hello world'.
If I type 'print "Hello world" in the editor, save it as test.py and
then run it I get the following error:
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: 'continue' not properly in loop
Also I can run scripts using PyScipter on the same WinXP machine
without problems. If I then try to run them with Spyder I get the
above error.
Appreciate any other thoughts anyone has.

Hello,
is it possible that you have a problem with different "line-ending
characters"?
Try the menu entry "convert end-of-line character" from the
"source" menu
before running your script. Make sure that you use "Mac"
line-endings on the
Mac and "Windows" line-endings on Windows.
Another possibility could be that you use TAB characters instead
of spaces,
and the TAB-width on different computers is different. Make sure
that you
use spaces only and no TAB characters. In the menu
Tools->Preferences->Editor
"Advanced settings" you should have "Indentation characters: 4 spaces"
selected.

Hi group,
I learned some python quite a while ago and have decided to
revisit it as a tool for statistical analysis.
I installed Python(x, y) on my work machine last week (Windows
XP) and, after some playing around it looks like things are
working (am able to run example scripts from Allen Downey's
free book ThinkPython in Spyder).
At home I run an old MacBook (OSX 10.6.8) so I have installed
the Anaconda distribution. Once again, it looked like
everything was working correctly.
So, I copied all the examples files and pdf of ThinkPython to
a USB key so that whether I'm at home, at work or on the
train, I can work through the example and get myself back up
to speed with python.
When I tried to run write/run 'hello world' this morning on
the train (OSX) I got the following error:
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: 'continue' not properly in loop
I got to work, loaded up Spyder and tried to run the same
HelloWorld.py and got the same error. I also tried running
some of the other scripts I was playing with last week and got
the same error even those these scripts had previously run.
I still have PyScripter on my work machine, so ran
HelloWorld.py using PyScripter and got Hello world at the console.
If I run debug on HelloWorld.py from Spyder I get:
>>>
debugfile(r'E:\Programming\Python\ThinkPython\HelloWorld.py',
wdir=r'E:\Programming\Python\ThinkPython')
> e:\programming\python\thinkpython\helloworld.py(5)<module>()
-> """
(Pdb)
(with a flashing command prompt after (Pdb))
If I then run HelloWorld.py I get:
(Pdb) continue
Hello world
>>>
But subsequent runs give the initial error.
I'm assuming this is related to Spyder, as I can run the same
scripts in PyScipter without error.
Hope someone can help (apologies in advance if this is a
newbie error).
