I have installed Python 2.7.3 from Python.org also in Terminal it states that I have 2.7.3.
How can I execute the script from Terminal?  I've tried typing python into the window and then dragging the file to terminal but I get a syntax error.  Sorry I am new to Python and just want to know how I can open such a file using 10.7.

Thanks
