Topic: Syntax error while trying to execute scipt (NEWBIE)

I realize this is probably a simple issue to resolve, so in advance i apologize. However I am an infrastructure guy trying to learn programmig so I am at a disadvantage out of the gate. I have a Python 2.7.2 installed on a both  HP Win7 and MAC OS X machines. When trying to execute a script thru IDLE with the command   python test.py    where test is the name of the script, I am recieving a Syntax Error with the name of the scipt

Thumbs up

Re: Syntax error while trying to execute scipt (NEWBIE)

When you get a syntax error popup when trying to run the script through IDLE, it will usually highlight in red where the error is in your document window (behind the python shell window that pops up.)

See if that helps, and if not please copy and paste in the part that it is telling you the problem is at.
