Code from book won't run

#1

I’m using the newest version of VSCode and Python 3.7.3.
I’ve been plugging right along without issue until Excersize 13.
I typed it just as it is in the book and line 3 is giving me an issue.
The error is:
Exception has occurred: ValueError
not enough values to unpack (expected 4, got 1)

Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong? Sorry for such a newb question.

Hello and welcome to the forum @Phil-N-Jax

I think you will find an answer in this blog

Yes, @ulfen69 has a link to a good post, but I’m going to guess that you’re running the code from directly inside VSCode rather than using PowerShell or Cmdr to run it like:

python ex13.py first second third

Try that. You might have to do:

python3 ex13.py first second third
