Hi Scott,

I've complied the same program and created an empty "test.py" file and
it ran with no errors.  What is the error message (output), error code
("echo $?" (sh) or "echo $status" (csh) or "echo %ERRORLEVEL%"
(Windows)) and what are the contents of the "test.py" file?  If you are
on a Windows machine, did you run the executable from cmd.exe?  Can you
import the file into Python itself?  How about trying:
  $ python >>> execfile("test.py")

Also, what OS and compiler and version of Python where you using?
("python -c 'import sys; print sys.version'")  Giving that info might
help people with answering your question.
