Great! You're right.. It works from the Command Line :-)
 
So, how should I call it inside the IDLE?? ... If I write ">>> triangulo.py" I get the "NameError"
 
Thanks again.

Looks like (from the “>>>”
prompt) that you’re still inside IDLE when you try to fire up the interpreter. This
is how one would kick off the python code from the command line.

Hi Stephen,  
I followed
your advice, but still no luck... I get the following error
("triangulo" highlighted):  
>>> python.exe
triangulo.py
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>   
Best,

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.
