Hi, I'm brand new to using/playing with Python, and I have what is likely a very simple question but can't seem to figure it out.
I wrote up a script in my preferred text editor. It contains maybe ten lines of code. I want to be able to execute those code lines with a single command either from the inline mode or from IDLE. How do I do this? I saved the file (myscript.py) in a folder that I've specified in my PYTHONPATH environment variable, and when I type >>> import myscript the script runs. If, later during the same session, I type >>> myscript all I get for output is <module 'myscript' from 'c:\documents and settings\t_crane\my documents\Python Modules\myscript.pyc'> Somwhere in the beginning tutorial there's this line: "The script can be given a executable mode, or permission, using the chmod command: $ chmod +x myscript.py" Which I took to mean that if I enter that I would be able to do what I wanted. But no, it just highlights 'myscript' in red and says it's a syntax error. What am I missing? thanks for your help! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
