python script basic problem

[The Titan]

im having a problem, i just started learning python last night and i can do simple things in idle, but if i just put the stuff into a .py file and try to execute it it doesn't work... i have it so i can execute the file, example:

script:


print "Hello World in Python!"
print "Here are 10 numbers, from 0 to 9"
for i in range(10):
print i,
print "Finished!"
output:

titan@dungeon:~/Desktop/python_scripts$ ./hello_world.py
Warning: unknown mime-type for "Hello World in Python!" -- using "application/*"
Error: no such file "Hello World in Python!"
Warning: unknown mime-type for "Here are 10 numbers, from 0 to 9" -- using "application/*"
Error: no such file "Here are 10 numbers, from 0 to 9"
./hello_world.py: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./hello_world.py: line 3: `for i in range(10):'


SOLVED: python hello_world.py der...

if you want to use ./script.py, put a shebang in your script's very first line (depending on where you installed python)



#!/usr/bin/python

or


#!/usr/bin/env python
