Omar, The '>>>' were causing the problem I would guess. Those are the interactive interpreter's prompts, not python. Saving a python session like that is a starting place for creating code, not the finished product.
You might also want to save the file as "helloworld11.py" before double clicking it. Again, these problems indicate that you're not ready to even start coding until you've read a good intro text.
