In the Python Shell:
newnum = num % 2
works fine, but when used in a super simple script it get an error:

newnumb = num % 2
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

(Toggle Plain Text)

print "This program checks to see if a number is prime, "
num = raw_input("Choose a number: ")
newnumb = num % 2
if newnumb != 0:
    print "The number ", num, " is not a prime. "
else:
    print "Congrats! The number ", num, " is a prime. "

Just learnign Python, thanks in advance
