I feel a little silly. I am learning Python by reading _Learning_Python_ by Mark Lutz. I made it all the way to "Hello World" before my first question. :-)
The program isn't too complicated. print "Hello World" print 2**100 I saved it to a directory for which I have rw permissions that I moved to with cd ~/prog. I set the execute bit. I started the file with #!/usr/bin/python. I think I did everything right, and the program ran properly, both as a shell command (python foo.py) and as a standalone (./foo.py). No *.pyc. .py is there. What am I doing wrong? Oh, yeah: 2.6.5, Ubuntu 10.04. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
