What do I do if I can't type double underscore in Python shell and IDLE in Windows 10?












0















When I try to type the attributes of a class with 1 single underscore between each word I get the following error:



>>> class Dog:
def_init_(self,color,legs):
File "<stdin>", line 2
def_init_(self,color,legs):

SyntaxError: invalid syntax


I tried using 2 single underscores together between each word of the class attributes hoping that the 2 single underscores would merge together, but that didn't happen and that also produced a syntax error.



Is there a way to merge 2 single underscores in Python's shell or IDLE? I tried changing my keyboard settings from windows settings menu, but I ended in the language/region section where I found the languages for the keyboard and I still haven't found a way to change or check the individual keys in of the Keyboard languages I have selected.

    You first indicate the problem is caused by a single underscore, later in your question body, you indicate you have a problem with 2 underscores. You might want to improve your question and clarify it.

  • Try adding a space between def and __init__, perhaps? i.e. def __init__(self,color,legs): (with double underscores). Also, it looks as if you may not have the correct number of spaces before def.
