Yes it
Your main issue here wasn't with Python, but with Terminal; you didn't know
how to use it to navigate your operating system and run files. You should
check out Massimo's links for more information on that stuff. Terminal is
basically like another version of the Finder: it can do everything the
grap
Thanks to all for your help.
I was able to successfully run my first program all be it was very simple.
I have ordered a Python for Dummies book from Amazon but it hasn't arrived
yet. I think that will help initially until I get familiar with this
environment.
Thank you all for your information
Hi John,
to run a python (.py) file, from the shell type :
python /path/to/your/file.py (just drug'n'drop the file inside the terminal
shell)
to know the directory where your shell is running type the command :
> pwd
it will show you the path.
to go inside the directory type :
> cd /path
Hello All,
I'm a complete novice to Python and I just created my first program for an
assignment in a Python class that I'm taking at the local community college.
The instructor didn't give us a book so, I'm trying to figure out one
important item.
How to run my program. I know this is so basic
