Is this what you mean?

./chapter_2.py: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `"Hello World"'
        ./chapter_2.py: line 1: `print("Hello World")'

If so, obviously still no dice.

No, I meant that you should edit your .py file and add
#!/usr/bin/env python
as the first line, THEN try to run it.

BINGO!

Right now what's happening is that you're handing a line of Python script to the shell and asking it to run it; the shell is telling you (oh-so-politely) "what the hell is this?" You need to give it a clue.

Thank you for the translation. So I need to do this with every .py file? My friend who was helping me (he's only been at this a few months) doesn't need to do this. Is that possible or is he just misleading me?
