title: Can't run Python from cmd line
body: <p>I am a programming (and Python) novice. I am unable to run any python script in command prompt of my WinXP 64-bit laptop. I assigned the path and confirmed it by typing set path. I have Python32.
  I get the following message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt;python hello.py
  
  File &lt;”stdin”&gt; , Line1
    Python hello.py
               ^
  SyntaxError: Invalid syntax
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Following is the script I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/python
  message = "Hello, world!"
  print(message)
  </code></pre>
