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.
