Hi there,
I'm learning Python. I have to work with a Notebook running Widows Vista Home Premium.(have no other choice)
It works fine when working in Interactive Mode or by Opening a .py file from the IDLE and then running it by pressing F5, but I can not run .py files by invoking them from the prompt (neither from IDLE nor Dos Command Line);
Every time I try to do this I get the following error:(In this case I'm tryig to invoke triangulo.py saved in C:\python27);
>>> triangulo.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
triangulo.py
NameError: name 'triangulo' is not defined
>>>
The same happens for every file I want to run by calling them from the prompt, although if I double click on any .py file it runs ok.
I've installed Python as follows:
I've downloaded the Python 2.7.3 Windows Installer from www.python.org/download/.
Once I've got it I run the installer and Python was installed on C:\Python27, and I've added Python to the my directory by doing set path=%path%;C:\python27.
Any ideas will be very welcome :-)
Thanks in advance for your attention.
