What you are doing above is typing "python", then - IN python - typing "hello.py". This does not work, since you're in the interpreter and the function "hello.py" is unknown to Python. So try again: "python hello.py" in the command interpreter. Or if you are in the python interpreter, you might try "import hello" and see what happens. -- - Rikard - http://bos.hack.org/cv/ _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
