I simply would like to run a .py program that I downloaded I do not find how to do it !
(the program in question takes an Endnote bibliographic file, and converts it to a format suitable for LatexBibtex (which is a pain in the ass to type when the number of references is high)) I have installed Python, and I have the .py file now what ?
Since you are using Latex I'll guess you are on Linux? If so then check that the first line of the python script has a line like this:
#! /bin/env python
If it has then you can run the python script byy simply double clicking in your favourite file manager or from a terminal prompt by typing its name:
$ foo.py
It might need some command line arguments too but without knowledge of the actual script I can't say...
If you are using Windows then the python file should be showing a green snake icon in Windows Explorer, in which case just double click to run it.
HTH,
Alan G.
