As I believe someone pointed out earlier when you previously asked this question on one of the other mailinglists, to do what you want to do, you should: 1. Go Start -> Run, enter "cmd", click Run, to open the DOS shell. 2. cd to whatever folder helloworld.py is located in 3. running the following command in the terminal window: python helloworld.py Python's "shell" is an interactive interpreter of Python *code*, and is NOT used to run python script *files*, at least in the particular way you're trying. When you enter "helloworld.py" at the Python interpreter prompt, Python is not trying to run the file "helloworld.py"; it's looking for a variable named "helloworld" to then find the "py" attribute of (i.e. the dot is an operator in this instance). Since there's obviously no such variable, it's raising a NameError exception. For simplicity, I'd recommend just running the script directly from IDLE as I explained above. Finally, I echo the comment that your question is completely offtopic for this mailinglist, which is about developing Python 3.0, not using Python 3.0 (unless you found a bug, which is not the case here).
