[Pythonmac-SIG] python script execution strangeness

[Mario Ruggier]

Hi,

running scripts from the command-line is behaving very strangely
on my 10.2.4 system, and only one-liner scripts seem to be executed
as expected. Below are an interactive session, followed by a few script
examples (using '---' to visually indicate end-of-file), and their 
output.
Whenever the python script contains more than one line, an error is
reported. Plus, when I stick "#!/usr/bin/python" at the beginning of the
script (one or more lines), no output (and no error) is generated.

Anyone has an idea what's going on?

Thanks for any help,

	Mario
