Thanks for your response Matthew. I think I will just run from the CLI.
I am still getting errors when running cmds via Geany.

I did change it to an executable but that didn't work. Linux did not recognize it as a command
when launched using only the file name, even with the 'shebang' in the script.

I tried your other idea about putting what works into the CLI into Geany but I still got "permission denied"
error. Although I am not getting anything done, I am learning alot. : )

Well now on to see if I can get syntax highlighting working along with auto complete. Wish me
luck. Thanks again.

Hi,

You probably have to mark the script executable and put a "shebang" in
it. Unlike Windows, Linux doesn't go by file extension, a script has to
be made executable (ex `chmod +x yourscript.py` or from your file
manager) and the first line tells which interpreter to use (ex.
`#!/usr/bin/env python`).

Alternatively, you could just change your build command in Geany to run
the script using Python like what you ran on the command line, so it
doesn't need to be executable or have a shebang line. Just put `python
/home/joe/pythonbuild.py` in the build command.

Regards,
Matthew Brush
