Is this what you mean?

	matthew-parrillas-macbook:Dawson_Book matthewparrilla$ #!/usr/bin/env  
python
	matthew-parrillas-macbook:Dawson_Book matthewparrilla$ ./chapter_2.py
	./chapter_2.py: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `"Hello  
World"'
	./chapter_2.py: line 1: `print("Hello World")'
