I am using a MacBook Pro that has Python 2.6.1 built into the command line terminal.
I am initially using a online book source to help guide me through python. The URL is attached.

The lesson I am having difficulty with is once I open a terminal I type the word "IDLE" which opens a python shell where I am able to run a program in the shell. I ran the program successfully and was then asked to open a new window. Well when I do open the new window the new window/shell and old window/shell or not working. I am unable to type any commands into the both windows/shells. I can only type in the terminal window but its unresponsive to any useful/real commands because I am in IDLE.
Does any one know why when I open a new window that python stops working?
If it helps I attached the two python shells that are locked. The top one is the first one I opened to run the code. Then the book says to open another window which i did and then the two windows become frozen.
