But that's not how the Python interpreter works. You say you are trying to run "py files" at the >>> prompt. If what you are doing is this: >>> test.py Well, no, that's not going to work. If you want to run "test.py" as a script, from the CMD prompt you type: python test.py If test.py is a module meant to be imported, then from the Python prompt you do this: import test Hope this helps. -- Chris. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
