being totally new to Python, I tried actually doing the examples from the beginners guide (real RTFM ;-)

however I fail at the first example, with an error message that I don't understand. please clarify. attached file is screenprint from documentation, below what's on my screen (note I keyed in the example, no copy/paste, but I think correctly)

Also adding spaces or a tab doesn't get rid of the error.
