How do we use Python in script mode?


It is possible to execute Python script from command line. Python program can be written by any text editor (preferably a Python aware text editor) and saved with .py extension. To write basic Hello World program using IDLE, the Python IDE shipped with standard Python distribution, open the editor choosing File->New.

Example

Type following lines and save as test.py

#!/usr/bin/python
 Print (“Hello World”)

Execute the script using following command line 

C:\users>python test.py

You can also run the script from Run Menu of IDLE file editor
