anyone help me real quick?

thanks man

[frigid seal]

I honestly don’t see what the issue is, that should work

[ripe cape]

literally started like 7 minutes ago

[zealous spire]

Same, like what? Did you try running that again?

[ripe cape]

ive tried multiple time

when it asks for the name

i type it out

then hit enter

then the red stuff appears

i dont even think its an error

it makes no sense

[mortal fulcrum]

tty doing it

a = str(input('sdfsdf: '))
print(a)

[stiff gate]

python 2.7?

[ripe cape]

how do i check?

i downloaded it like 30 minutes ago

[zealous spire]

Ah

[stiff gate]

it says bottom right

[sullen ore]

you definitely have python 2.7, try installing the latest one

[zealous spire]

Yeah you're using 2.7

[ripe cape]

yes

[mortal fulcrum]

python --ver

[ripe cape]

so what it wont work?

[sullen ore]

python 2.7 had different syntax for print, install the latest python and try again

[mortal fulcrum]

download python 3

[ripe cape]

let me see because i think it is not supported with my mac i have 10.13

[mortal fulcrum]

and use it

[ripe cape]

plus my pycharm latest version was incompatible as well, i had to download an older one

[sullen ore]

macs automatically come with pre-installed python 2.*, read up on how to set up new python on mac and follow the guide

ideally in a new environment

[zealous spire]

Strange, I thought Pycharm came with an interpreter too
Or maybe thats thonny

[ripe cape]

alright, let me update and see what i can do, i'll let you guys know. thanks for the quick help

[stiff gate]

just looked it up, in 2.7 input() evaluates what the user types as python code
there's raw_input() instead
but really 2.7 is ancient at this point and I don't see a reason not to use 3 unless you're working in an old codebase or smthn

[ripe cape]

ok

just started installing 3.12

will it overwrite the 2.7

or do i have to manually delete it

and do i need to reinstall pycharm?

or will a restart suffice

[sullen ore]

don't delete the 2.7 on mac, are you following any up-to-date guides?

[ripe cape]

guides regarding?

[sullen ore]

installing python on mac

[zealous spire]

You can just click on the 2.7 at the bottomright and switch your version being used

[ripe cape]

no i just download it from their website

[ripe cape]

ok got it

[ripe cape]

theres no 3.12

i see add interpreter

[zealous spire]

Could you send a screenshot

[ripe cape]

sure

[zealous spire]

Yeah click on "Add Interpreter..."

[ripe cape]

then?

[zealous spire]

There's probably an option to browse interpreters there

[ripe cape]

would you mind if i dm you and i share my screen?

[zealous spire]

Fine, but do note thats usually not whats encouraged here

[ripe cape]

thank you every one
