Programming-Python help please!, Newbie stuck!?

[Eoin O'kane]

Basically I have just started learning python and am following the guide and entered:

>>> #!/usr/bin/python
>>> #Filename: helloworld.py
>>>
>>> print("Hello World")

Then saved this in the main Python folder. Then I opened the DOS python thing and typed in

>>>python helloworld.py

and I get:
File "<stdin>", line 1
python helloworld.py

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Followed the step...not sure what I am doing wrong?

Your trying to run python within python. Hit Ctrl-D to exit python and then execute "python helloworld.py". Make sure the file is in the current directory.
