Hello all, I just wrote a really simple script and named it helloworld.py. Inside was only:
#!/usr/bin/env print "Hello, world" I used chmod to set the permissions, and ran it to see what happened (I just started learning Python, if you couldn't guess) Then, I typed ls in the directory to see what was there, and I noticed a new file, namely helloworld.py~ . What is that file (its contents are identicle to helloworld.py)? Why the ~? Thanks a lot. I'm using Ubuntu Linux 5.04 (Hoary), and wrote the script with gedit. ~~Ted Present -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
