import error

[marrou...@gmail.com]

hi,

I am a beginner with python.

I am trying to run a proposed program in the ANU's Astrophysics MOOC (Australian National University).
3 statements block execution at the beginning of the program with an error message.

Here they are :
from time import clock -> Error: Line 3: can not import from time
from random import - Error: Line 3: Can not import from random

How to solve this problem ?

Thank you for your help.

Delete those two lines; GlowScript VPython provides clock(), random(), and arange() automatically. 

You mention 3 statements but only list 2...?

At glowscript.org it is not possible to import standard Python modules. Python programs are processed by the RapydScript-NG Python-to-JavaScript transpiler. If you need to access Python modules other than those provided at glowscript.org, you need to use VPython 7: see vpython.org.

I should also comment that all the standard math functions are also supplied automatically.

Out of curiosity, can you provide a link to the MOOC? Thanks.
