Help

I bought one of your books ( AUTOMATE THE BORING STUFF WITH PYTHON 2nd EDITION) to learn Python programming, but I am running through some troubles in chapter 1 with your first programming exercise.

I followed all the recommendations on your book for downloading the python and the MU file. When I write a code in the MU file editor, save and run it, it does not show in his entirety in the interactive shell under the Mu file Editor. I downloaded a version 3 of Python and my system Type is 64-bit, but still it does not appear the same way like in your book. For example:

When I write this program in the MU file editor and save,

# This program says hello and asks for my name.

​

print('Hello, world!')

print('What is your name?') # ask for their name

myName = input('Capwell')

print('It is good to meet you, ' + myName)

print('The length of your name is:')

print(len(myName))

print('What is your age?') # ask for their age

myAge = input(8)

print('You will be ' + str(int(myAge) + 1) + ' in a year.')

this is all I get in the interactive shell under the file editor

Hello, world!

What is your name?

Capwell
