Why does my python file run perfectly in the IDLE but doesn't work when I double click it. Let me rephrase, My if/else statements never seem to be true even tho they work correctly in the IDLE.
I even broke down ALL my code to the most simple if/else statement to test and make sure I wasn't missing something. Here is the code I broke down. this is the exact code in the py file, again it works in IDLE but not when I double click the py file
choice = input('letter: ')
if choice == 'a':
print ('that is an a')
input('press any key to exit...')
else:
print('that letter is not an a')
input('press any key to exit')
btw python v3.2 windows 7
try adding
choice = choice.strip()
this works for me
choice = input('letter: ')
choice = choice.strip()
if choice == 'a':
print ('that is an a')
input('press any key to exit...')
else:
print('that letter is not an a')
input('press any key to exit')
otherwise your input
gives you the letter together with a newline and the if
fails
input() might be getting a string with a line ending.
Try adding the line print(repr(choice))
right after the input, to see exactly what you're working with.
