Boston Python Workshop 5/Friday/Windows Python scripts

We are going to practice writing and running Python scripts.

You're a real deep thinker. Thanks for sharnig.

Write and save a short Python script

 * 1) Add the following line to your new text file:

print "Hello World!"


 * 1) Save the script as   in your Desktop directory. The   extension indicates that this file contains Python code.

Knowledge wants to be free, just like these artilces!

Success
You created and ran your first Python script!


 * When you run the  command by itself, you start a Python prompt. You can execute Python code interactively at that prompt.
 * When you run the  command with a file name as an argument, Python executes the Python code in that file.
