Python Forum

Hi, I am new to Python and just learning. After defining a function and adding a """multi-line comment""", there is no >>> showing the beginning of next line to enter the code. Please help. Thank you.

Please, use meaningful titles.
It's not very clear what you are doing.
>>> is interactive python prompt. That is python is in interactive mode and each command is executed immediately.
If you try to enter multiline sting it will look like this.

Python 3.5.2 (default, Nov 23 2017, 16:37:01) 
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> """test
... tests
... """
'test\ntests\n'
>>> 

On other hand you can write you script in py file. I think that is what you are doing. In this case you don't need >>> at all. Actually if you have it you will get invalid syntax error.

"""
This is
multiline
string / docstring"""

print('Hello world!')

save this as py file and run it.
