Hi, I have a simple question about running python on windows xp command prompt. The file is as follows and is named spam.py:
print 2**8 print 'the bright side' + 'of life' print "hello world" I run this on the command prompt as follows C:\Documents and Settings\User>python C:\Documents and Settings\User \Desktop\spa m.py python: can't open file 'C:\Documents': [Errno 2] No such file or directory and get the error above. If I surround the second directory in quotes like this C:\Documents and Settings\User>python "C:\Documents and Settings\User \Desktop\spa m.py" , there is no error. Does anyone know why this is.
