[Tutor] hello.py: line 1: print: command not found

Hi

In order to execute python script by fedora terminal ; insert #! /bin/env python as the first line in the script.

Python scripts end with a file extension of .py, as 
indicated above.
It is also possible in Unix to automatically launch the Python 
interpreter without explicitly invoking it by name from the command line. If you 
are using any Unix-flavored system, you can use the shell-launching ("sh-bang") 
first line of your program:
#!/usr/local/bin/pythonThis may futher help Source Core Python Programming

The file path, the part that follows the #!, is the full path 
location of the Python interpreter. As we mentioned before, it is usually 
installed in /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin. If not, be sure to 
get the exact pathname correct so that you can run your Python scripts. 
Pathnames that are not correct will result in the familiar Command not 
found error message.
As a preferred alternative, many Unix systems have a command 
named env, installed in either /bin or /usr/bin, 
which will look for the Python interpreter in your path. If you have 
env, your startup line can be changed to something like this:
#!/usr/bin/env python

or, if your env is located in /bin,
#!/bin/env python

env is useful when you either do not know exactly 
where the Python executable is located, or if it changes location often, yet 
still remains available via your directory path. Once you add the proper startup 
directive to the beginning of your script, it becomes directly executable, and 
when invoked, loads the Python interpreter first, then runs your script. As we 
mentioned before, Python no longer has to be invoked explicitly from the 
command. You only need the script name:
$ script.py
