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.
