[Tutor] Newbie: New install of Python 2.1: Syntax Error

[Frank Peavy]

Using IDLE
Win 98SE installation

I keep getting a syntax error when I try to run the "hello world" program 
listed at the bottom.
In looking through the TUTOR archives I noticed a solution related to 
sys.path that I tried, thinking
that the problems may be related(see below). I thought the problem might be 
related to a PATH problem, but was unsure.
********************************************************
 >>> python hello1.py
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.path()
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in ?
     sys.path()
TypeError: object of type 'list' is not callable
********************************************************
My py below
********************************************************
# File: hello1.py

from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()

w = Label(root, text="Hello, world!")
w.pack()

root.mainloop()
