Oops. My mistake. I cut and pasted the output, but unfortunately, I
didn't cut and paste the source code! The source code should, of course,
be
print 'Hello'
As to why running it from the command line (with or without a .py
extension) works? Indeed, that is a mystery, one of the many mysteries of
this <irony>marvellous</irony> operating system we use.
It's something to do with how the .py extension is registered, I know
that much.
