Hi,
I have just started doing the google python course online and am completing my first assignment by running the string1.py script. I have tested my little routines in the python interpreter and they work there, by when i actually run the string1.py script the test routines tell me they got nothing returned from my code. I am running on a Windows 10 machine at the command line. Python 2.7..
Here is my script, please point me in the right direction, thanks:
