That command they show isn't run from a Python shell. It's run from either a Unix shell (bash and friends) or a Windows command prompt (cmd). If you want to run a script, you have to give the path to that script. ./ means the current directory and .. is the parent directory if you want to give relative paths, or you can just write out the whole file path. > Can I please ask how to set the current duirectory in python? > os.chdir changes the current directory, but you probably don't need to do that. > the script I want to run is in a different directory to the one python > is installed to > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
