[sf-lug] [PYCLASS] Still on exercise 2.1

[jim]

   your program is working fine. your expectation 
is that you'll see something, but your program 
has no print statements, just three statements: 

5  # well, okay, 5 it is, says the interpreter 
x = 5  # roger, x now references the value 5 
x + 1  # okey dokey, i'll add 1 to x, which is now 6 

   but nowhere do you have a print statement to 
put stuff on the screen so the user can see. 

print 5 
print x = 5 
print x + 1 

   we had an interesting discussion about the 
above statements (mainly the second).
