[Pythonmac-SIG] Unable to run python application

[beegee beegee]

Hi there, I am a beginner in python and I wrote a simple program
called first.py (using aquamacs) and stored it on my desktop.
I opened IDLE and wrote the command python first.py
and I got a syntax error with 'first' being highlighted
I have a mac os 10.4.11, python 2.6.1 on IDLE
and I also used the aquamacs compiler for python
/* the program i wrote was*/
print " Hello world"
user_input = raw_input("What is your name?")
print "Thank you", user_input
*/
