countint words from an input string

[Øystein Western]

Hello!

Try to write som code that will get an input string from the user. Futher
more, I'd like to have the program to count all the word the user has
written.

Startet out like this:

/-------------
s = raw_input("Write a text line")
print s.split()
/----------------

How can I count the words in the split function. Do I have to use the split
function to count the words in the S variable?

Regards
Frengky

print 'You've entered', len(s.split()), 'words.'

BTW, though newbie questions are quite welcome here, you might find it
beneficial to run through the Python tutorial (at
http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html and included in the standard
distribution), and to join the tutor mailing list (at
