# set your python executable in textConfig.py to a Python 2.X # installed executable, start Pyedit, and open and run this file # Python 2.X code generally works in the 3.X Pyedit, including # any "from __future__ import X" statements; this means your code # can choose to use either Python 3.X or 2.X prints as usual; #from __future__ import print_function # <= for 3.X prints import sys print sys.version print raw_input reps = raw_input('reps? ') # versus input in 3.X for i in range(int(reps)): print(i, '*' * (i+1)) # it's a tuple in 2.X!
