title: Python IDLE not executing "for loop" print statements
body: <p>Can someone tell me why the simple &quot;words&quot; for loop shown below, and others like it (all of them copied from Python.org), didn't print in IDLE when I ran the print statements? When the print statement below and the others tested were run in the Python 2.7.12 shell, the function merely skipped to the next blank indented line without printing anything. (I tried running the print line both with and without indentation and parentheses.)</p>
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; words = ['cat', 'window', 'defenestrate']
  &gt;&gt;&gt; for w in words:
      print w, len(w)
  </code></pre>
