You can create a Python script on a *nix system and run it with: $ python threeplusfour.py
You can place a shebang line as the first line of the script, which points to the python interpreter: #!/usr/bin/python print("Hello, world!\n") Save the file, then make it an executable with: $ chmod u+x threeplusfour.py Then execute it with: $ ./threeplusfour.py Why the dot-slash? Here is a good explanation: http://www.linfo.org/dot_slash.html You can also create a Python script and place it in a directory that is included in your PATH (echo $PATH). Once the executable script is in a directory in your PATH, you can execute it with: $ threeplusfour.py Happy Programming! -- b h a a l u u at g m a i l dot c o m Kid on Bus: What are you gonna do today, Napoleon?
