Newbie Question

[Gregory T. Weber]

I just started with the Learning Python book and was not able to get one
of the simplest programs working.  I suspect that the installation
is at fault and want to confirm before going any further.  Using Python 2.0 on Solaris 2.6.

The code is

#! /usr/bin/python

print 'First Program'

At the command line this works fine

> python first.py
First Program

After making first.py executable I figured I could do this

>first.py

but I get the error

print: Command not found.


Thanks,

Greg
