Hello

I am just starting with python and have some questions.

- Is there a way to make *.py-Files executables in an
  Win98-Environment (like *.bat or *.com).
  I am reading the docs from python.org but most notes on system
  config are for unix, so i couldn't find the answer there.

- is there somethin like a .profile-file(unix) for windows
  that loads all default modules/options when running a py-
  script, maybe a bat/ini file?

- What is python best in? I mean, what do you use it for:
  shell scripts, building guis, something else?

- what is the best way to get an overwiew on what python
  is, what the modules do.

- where on the web can i find lots of python scripts for windows
  with lots of comments suited for dummies and newbies?

- if you know 'windows scripting' with vbs, js, wsf and so on
  will it be easy to port your scripts to py? does the COM-extension
  support the same subset of objects, classes and so on like wsh?
  or is it a differnt story?

- In the docs (py2.3.1) there is an example with strings
  multiline (3.2.1 in Tutorial):

 hello = "This is a rather long string containing\n\
 several lines of text just as you would do in C.\n\
     Note that whitespace at the beginning of the line is\
  significant."

 print hello

  this doesnt work for me, when i paste the code to the
  Python IDE (ActiveState): Error: name 'hello' is not defined
  what do i have to do to  print hello?

thanks for your ansers+time
Christoph
