I'm an absolute noob to Python, although I have been programming in several other languages for over 10 years.
I'm trying to install and run some scripts, and I'm not having much success. I followed the steps at this site. https://docs.python.org/2/install/ I have Python 2.7.6 Shell. If I type this: python setup.py install I get this: SyntaxError: invalid syntax If I try this: setup.py beautifulsoup I get this: SyntaxError: invalid syntax If I got to File > Open . . . . navigate to a folder and open the setup.py file and hit F5 . . . . it looks like it runs, but I can't tell what it does for sure, and then nothing works after that. For instance, I downloaded something called 'Flask'. I put that folder in my Python27 folder, and typed 'pip install Flask' and I keep getting errors. Any idea how to run a simple program??? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
