Some stupid questions about python.?

Question

First of all I am 14 years old total newbie to pregramming. I got bored today and decided to learn something for a change. I stumbled upon a litler guide on the net about some basic python commands for newbies . I stumbled on the command : print "Hello, world!"
I made a new txt file and written the command . I saved the file with a py extension and download the python interpreter from python.org (or atleast i think thats the thing i have downloaded) . I tried to run the file and cmd flashed for a few seconds nothing else happened . I think a box should appear instead with the text hello worl . Any help would be greatly appreciated. I offer in exchange for your help if you need a gmail invitation . If you need the invitation please leave you e-mail after you answer. Thanks in advance, Alexander

PS: Please don't insult as alot of you so called by themselves ''elite'' have started the same way i started today.

Answer 1

Try running this from the command prompt:

python yourfile.py

That should invoke the python interperter, assuming it's in your system path. You can read more about invoking the python interpeter here:

Answer 2

I have not used python for a lengthy time period yet you want to placed a line of code that desires a reaction from the person formerly it keeps. attempt: raw_input("click enter to go out >") Stick this on the end of the code and it may not proceed until eventually the person tells it too
