尝试在 cmd (Windows 10) 中运行 python 脚本时出现语法错误

Question

I just start learning python programming. I wrote a simple program in python 3.8.2:

x = "Hi world"
print (x)

Code was saved in a python file named 'file.py'. It ran correctly in python. The problem is when try to run the same chunk of code in the command line of windows 10.

After cmd was opened, i set the path at the directory where the file is saved, in this case, my desktop. Then i tried to run the next command:

C:\Users\Ben\Desktop>python file.py

The program was not work. Windows shows me the following message:

File "file.py", line 1 Python 3.8.2 (tags/v3.8.2:7b3ab59, Feb 25 2020, 22:45:29) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I will appreciate all your help.

Answer 1

If file.py just contained:

x = "Hi world"
print (x)

then that is fine but you have:

Python 3.8.2 (tags/v3.8.2:7b3ab59, Feb 25 2020, 22:45:29) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)]

as your first line.

This is most likely as it is imported from the default python IDLE
