The first thing to check would be the file permission bits on the file "hi.py" to be sure the execute bit is set. From your command line, just type "ls -al hi.py". The first 10 characters from the output should show you what bits are set and you are looking for an "x" in the fourth character. For example:
-rwxr--r-- This means the owner has read,write,execute privileges while group and world have read only. If you don't have execute privileges, simple type: "chmod u+x hi.py" Hope this helps. The same thing was driving me batty until this morning on a Linux machine after splitting a script into two parts. The old one had the execute bit set but the new one didn't.
