Anjuta IDE - Simple Python Question

Question

I'm new to Linux, Python and the Anjuta IDE.

I have created a new file called hello.py. This is the contents of that file:

#!/usr/bin/env python
print "Hello World!"

All I want to do is run this in the terminal. I go to Run > Execute but I get the following error message:

Program 'home/joe/Programming/Python//hello.py' does not have execution permission

How do I get this really simple program to run?

Thanks,

Answer 1

open a shell, cd to the folder where the file is located and execute chmod +x hello.py.

Answer 2

ZeissS' solution will work and is generally preferred to this, but for the sake of completeness, you could also open a shell, cd to the appropriate directory, and type:

python hello.py
