I'm a rank beginner in Python.  Took advantage of the O'Reilly one-day sale of 
'Learning Python' announced on the tutor, and starting to work my way through 
it.  When I tried out an example from pg57, on Using exec to Run Module Files, 
I get the following result:
exec(open('script1.py').read())
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in<module>
   File "<string>", line 1
     %!PS-Adobe-3.0
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

It looks like the first line of your file "script1.py" contains "%!PS-Adobe-3.0". (Which is no valid syntax, of course) Have you doublechecked the content of script1.py and does it work by invoking it form the command line with "python script1.py"? My guess is the file somehow got screwed up.
