I downloaded Python 2.7.1. I think this is a pretty basic question. When I try to run the existing python files on the computer (hello.py), I receive a syntax error.
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86882M, Nov 30 2010, 10:35:34) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)] on darwin Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information. >>> python hello.py SyntaxError: invalid syntax I am running Mac OS X version 10.6.6. Shouldn't I be able to run hello.py from the IDLE interpreter? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
