running python

[Linux_Newbi]

Hi, me again.

On most previous distros i have used python works out the box, save as .py, click on it to run, and thats all, however this dosent seem to happen here, my files will only open in leafpad, even when i tell them to open with python. Do i need to install somethin more or am i doing something wrong? files are written in notepad ++ running in wine and in linux geany.

thank you

Hi

Did you check does the file.py have executive rights?

[Linux_Newbi]

Um, no, how do I do that?

[pavroo]

Right click on the file.py -> Properties -> Permissions -> Program: Allow this file to run as a program <- it has to be marked.
