[Tutor] hello.py: line 1: print: command not found

[Cullen Newsom]

Max, 

    Thanks for your reply.  I have already tried to set my
shebang to /usr/bin/env python.  But for everyone's benefit. 
I've tried it again, and the same behavior persists.  As another
confirmation that this is not a file permission problem, I
should say that I can run hello.py as root, and get the expected
result.  I can also run it as normal user, from /usr/lib/python
and get the proper behavior.  It is from /home/user/hello.py
that this error persists.  I included below the attribute flags
from ls-l.  Thanks again for your help, any ideas are
appreciated.
