The "SyntaxError: invalid syntax" message occurs because there is
no "run" command in python.  Run the python file from the command
prompt like this:

    python hello.py

Alternatively, start python and then enter this at the python
prompt (>>>):

    import hello

The import command loads the python file and executes the code in
the file.  Note that you use "hello" and not "hello.py".
