title: How To Run A Python File From Windows Command Line
body: <p>I'm sorry if this question is simple but i'm new to Python and have searched around but not found my answer.</p>
  
  <p>Here it is:</p>
  
  <p>How do I run a .py file from the Python interpreter? I'd like to run this file: C:\Users\Myname\Desktop\Python\Python-Test.py</p>
  
  <p>So far, I've:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Downloaded Active Python (<a href="http://www.activestate.com/activepython" rel="nofollow">http://www.activestate.com/activepython</a>).</li>
  <li>Set the PATH to open the interpreter from the Windows Command Line. The Python interpreter works fine, allowing me to print simple calculations.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thanks for your time,</p>
  
  <p>Dan.</p>
