I am facing a very basic problem as any new bie would face. I know perl and now i want to use python
In perl, it is very simple , just "perl scriptname.pl" will execute the script. But i think python is worse than perl It takes to interactive mode , which i don;t want to use. "python scriptname.py" does not execute python script It was, i don't know executing it or not. 1. I placed these contents in a file named "1.py" a,b=0,1 n=5 while n<=0: print b a=b b=a+b n=n-1 print n Then 2. on "cygwin shell in windows" i gave "python 1.py" hoping that it will exeucte and give me output, but nothing was printed Does python not support teh non-interactive mode of execution I have the manuals and they dont' specify this thing anywhere. they tell use "python -c filename" Please help.
