Open it in Emacs. Notice that the file extention is used to automatically put the editor in Python mode (defined in python.el). Now, write the following: def display_string(): print("This string is for display purposes ONLY.") display_string() Watch out! "display_string" is in `font-lock-function-name-face'! -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
