Okay, i've just started python a few days ago, and i think i'm doing well considering how quickly I"ve been working, but I've reached a dead end!!
I keep encountering an error when using the statement "from sys import argv"
In the first code were I had this problem, I managed to modify it a bit so that it works, but not to what i would have hoped, here is the first code
from sys import argv
script, user_name = argv
prompt = '> '
print "Hi %s, I'm the %s script." % (user_name, script)
print "I'd like to ask you a few questions."
print "Do you like me %s?" % user_name
likes = raw_input(prompt)
print "Where do you live %s?" % user_name
lives = raw_input(prompt)
print "What kind of computer do you have?"
computer = raw_input(prompt)
print"""
Alright, so you said %r about liking me.
You live near me in %r.
And you have a %r computer. Nice
""" % (likes, lives, computer)
and here is the second
from sys import argv
script, filename, = argv
txt = open(filename)
print "Here's your file %r:" % filename
print txt.read()
print "I'll also ask you to type it again:"
file_again = raw_input("> ")
text_again = open(file_again)
print txt_again.read()
the error i keep getting is "line 3, in <module>
script, user_name = argv
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack
" for the first on and "line 3, in <module>
script, filename, = argv
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack"
for the second one,
Thanks in advanced for the help,
And if it changes anything i am using mac 10.6.4 and have the latest version of python 2
