> what i did was this:
while i was working with the windows CMD
i made sure i was working on python by entering this "code"
cd c:\python32pyhton
---so, it successfully showed me this
c:\Python32>pythonPython 3.2.2 (default, Sep 4 2011, 09:51:08) [MSC v.1500 32
bit (Intel)] on win32Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.>>>
----then, i tried this:
>>> c:\Users\myusername\Documents\varios2\pythonjourney\ script1.py
----(please note that i put no indentation), i pressed enter and it returned
this:
File "<stdin>", line 1
c:\Users\myusername\Documents\varios2\pythonjourney\ script1.py
^SyntaxError: invalid syntax
----then i tried what's next:
>>> c:\Users\myusername\Documents\varios2\pythonjourney> script1.py----and
>>> returned this:
File "<stdin>", line 1 c:\Users\Talmidim\Documents\varios2\pythonjourney>
script1.py ^SyntaxError: invalid syntax
----my guess was that is something wrong with writing the the ":", so i tried:
>>> \Users\Talmidim\Documents\varios2\pythonjourney> script1.pyand it returned
>>> this:
File "<stdin>", line 1 \Users\myusername\Documents\varios2\pythonjourney>
script1.py
^SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character
Can somebody please help me?
thanks in advance!!! ;)
