Source Code

src/main.py is the only source file:

#!/usr/bin/env python
print('Hello, ' + "World!")

• #!/usr/bin/env python — Shebang line, specifies the system default Python interpreter
• print('Hello, ' + "World!") — Outputs Hello, World! using string concatenation

FAQ

Does it work with Python 2?

Yes. print('Hello, ' + "World!") works in Python 2.6+ — the parentheses serve as expression grouping, not a function call.

No such file or directory error

Make sure you are in the project root directory and run python src/main.py, not python main.py.
