In the tarpit?

Hello,

I'm running basic scripts out of a Python 101 class and have started falling into the tarpit.

The first sign is a message on the console: Loading Python2.7 interpreter... which never completes. When I look at my console it shows 0 cpu utilization. Eventually it shows something like 2500+ secs of utilization and gives me the tarpit message.

The script is less than a dozen lines and nothing that I can see is looping. Could there by a problem on the execution end?

If you're absolutely sure there was no possiblity of a loop in your code, it could conceivably be a glitch. I see your CPU-usage is back down to a small amount again... Let us know if you see anything strange again?
