	#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
contacts.py
This program uses a Person class to keep track of contacts.
"""
	class Person(object):
    """
    The Person class defines a person in terms of a
    name, phone number, and email address.
    """
    # Constructor
    def __init__(self, theName, thePhone, theEmail):
        self.name = theName
        self.phone = thePhone
        self.email = theEmail
    # Accesser Methods (getters)
    def getName(self):
        return self.name

any ideas what i have done wrong

need help with some debugging of a python script well this is python 3 based - but i have issues to get it up and running

i use eric 6 and the eric opened the code automatically but eric is not configured at all.

how to get ahead..!?

hello see my approach

if i do like so - in eric

1
    Python 3.7.1 (default, Oct 22 2018, 10:41:28)
2
    [GCC 8.2.1 20180831] auf martin-pc, Standard
3
    >>> contacts.py
4
    >>> Traceback (innermost last):
5
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
6
    NameError: name 'contacts' is not defined

i get errors...

what goes wrong here -

i guess that the Python interpreter understands and accepts only Python commands.
i tried to run contacts.py in the interpreter, which is not a Python command.

To run the code of the contacts.py file in Eric, simply open it and select Start > Run Script from the Eric main menu

From Python documentation:
https://docs.python....error#NameError

exception NameError
Raised when a local or global name is not found. This applies only to unqualified names. The associated value is an error message that includes the name that could not be found.


i runned it like so - AND now it woks propperly
