title: Running python script in command prompt: syntax error unexpected character after line continuation character
body: <p>I'm new to Python and have been trying to run a Python script through the cmd terminal (after invoking Python 3.6 in the Anaconda 4.3 distribution). I've looked through various forums which have outlined how to do this. I tried entering the following into the command prompt:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\myname\Anaconda3\python.exe C:\Users\myname\Desktop\test.py
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I get the error "unexpected character after line continuation character". I got the same error when I tried to enter both pathnames separately as well. The reason I want to use the Anaconda distribution is because it has tensorflow installed on it. Thanks!</p>
