Again you needthe patg: user$ python /tmp/py/hello.py The other option is to change directory to where the code is and then just specify the name: user$ cd /tmp/py user$ python hello.py Should work too. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
