The >>> prompt indicates that you have already started the interactive
interpreter by typing
$ python
This is a great way to test Python statements interactively -- type and
explore Python's response.
However, to run a script you have to provide the script name on the
commandline
$ python /Users/jonathan/Documents/hello.py
