Error trying to install Python on some friend's computer

First time I got this error trying to install Python on some friend's computer (Windows7 - x64)

It says

C:\Users\Username\Desktop\proyect> myproyect.py  
    File "myproyect.py" line 1  
      ActivePython 2.7.11 (v2.7.11:6d1b6a68f775, Dec 5 2015, 20:32:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32  
                     ▲  
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Solution

  • The file contains more than just python code, hence the syntax error.

    Please check that file simply contains 

    print "hello world"

    And not

# some other stuff... 
print "hello world"
