Hello all,
Totally new to this stuff and community so I very much appreciate the
help and apologize in advance for asking what might be a stupid
question... Oh, and I'm new to the lingo too!!
I'm having issues running Python in Terminal. When I run code through
the interpreter I get:
Python 2.6.5 (r236:73959, Mar 24 2010, 01:32:55)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5943)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print("Hello World")
Hello World
Which is great, but when I try and run the same code in the Terminal
by calling a program I've written (print("hello world") again) I get
the following:
matthews-macbook:Dawson_Book matthewparrilla$ ./chapter_2.py
./chapter_2.py: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `"Hello
World"'
./chapter_2.py: line 4: `print("Hello World")'
I'm using a Mac OS X 10.5.8. I had previously downloaded Python 2.6.5
AND 3.1 and had them both on this computer simultaneously but was
having trouble with 3.1 crashing. I have since put both in the trash
but obviously still have 2.6.5 on my system, I assume that was the
version pre-installed on this Mac.
Any guidance at all would be much appreciated-- I'm totally lost and
have spent hours trying to figure this out.
