You must be in the same directory (in konsole) as the python script for this to work, else enter the relative path to the file: Assuming you are in your home directory (this is where a new konsole will start you), and the py scripts are in a directory 'pythondir': $ cd pythondir $ python myscript.py or: $ python pythondir/myscript.py You could also chmod the script to be executable and run it as a regular command ...however... I don't mean this to sound like RTFM but I do think that you could use some reading on Linux CLI usage. You say you have some Linux books? I say this as my reading of your message indicates your problems lie with misunderstanding the shell/paths etc, not with Python itself... -d -- darren kirby :: Part of the problem since 1976 :: http://badcomputer.org "...the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected..." - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
