Powershell Syntax Error (python 2.7)

Question

Python 2.7

When I try and execute a python script, I get an invalid syntax error.

powershell.exe 'c:\pythonscripts\ex1.py'
File "<stdin>", line 1
powershell.exe 'c:\pythonscripts\ex1.py'
                                       ^

I know it works because I just executed a file with this command. the code for the .py is

print "Hello World!"
print "Hello Again"
print "I like typing this."
print "This is fun."
print 'Yay! Printing.'
print "I'd much rather you 'not'."
print 'I "said" do not touch this.

You're missing a ' after the last print statement, or was this a mistake in formatting your question — TerryA

As shown in the comments, you're mistake is that you forgot an apostrophe in your last print statement.

print 'I "said" do not touch this.'

Have fun learning python. LPTHW is a great way to learn it :).
