I am feeling quite stuck and discouraged and I am sure I am doing something wrong that must be very simple. I have saved a file in my documents called input_test.py but when I try to run it in the cmd line i get the following error:

enter image description here

Can anyone tell me why? What am I missing?

    You are within the python shell. Just quit (using `quit()`) and type `python input_test.py` in the command prompt directly. – Jan Aug 06 '20 at 21:52
  • It now says no such file or directory. How do I ensure I am in the right directory? – InvestingScientist Aug 06 '20 at 21:56
