161 PointsNot really I could not figure out the answer to this question: have a script named hello_treehouse.py. How would I run that?
There is a blank space to answer this question but everything I've tried typing in is incorrect.

12,964 PointsOk. :) In the video "Running Python Scripts" minute 3:16 Kenneth tells you the answer to this question. The answer to the question "how would you run hello_world.py" is the words he types into the Console in Workspaces to run his script. Does that answer your question? Let me know if you need any more help and have fun learning Python :)

4,736 PointsHi Shavonne, to run a Python file you need to type in a special command into the terminal. To run the file hello_world.py, we would type in "python hello_world.py" into the terminal. By doing this, we are essentially telling the computer to use PYTHON to run HELLO_WORLD.PY. Hope this helps.
