Try:

% ./hello.py

Why?

Under a *nix, you've got to give a full path for any command.  So if 
the file "hello.py" is in a directory that you have in your PATH 
(i.e. /usr/bin or something) it will work just fine, but since (I'm 
assuming) hello.py is not in your PATH, you need to tell the shell 
where that file is.

Hope that helps,
