But that's not how the Python interpreter works. You say you are trying
to run "py files" at the >>> prompt. If what you are doing is this:
>>> test.py
Well, no, that's not going to work. If you want to run "test.py" as a
script, from the CMD prompt you type:
python test.py
If test.py is a module meant to be imported, then from the Python prompt
you do this:
import test
Hope this helps.
