My python interpreter does not recognize strings

Newbie disclaimer: I am new to Python and just started using IDLE to play around with Python.

My problem is the interpreter does not recognize strings, whether enclosed in ¨¨ or ´´.

I configured IDLE to use UTF-8. but it does not seem to be an IDLE issue. What I tried is to test this string in the interpreter directly. It does not work.

print ¨Money¨

to the interpereter returns

File "<stdin>", line 1 print ¨Money¨ ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Can someone help me with this? I am using a new laptop running fedora15 with the international keyboard layout and python version is 2.7.1.

Just switch your keyboard setting between normal US English for coding, and US English International for texting, that worked for me.

You need to use "" or '', not ¨¨, ´´ or any other fancy characters.
