Error in imports pyCrypto

My problem is the follow: I have installed pyCrypto in my computer. Then when I execute a script the intepreter say this: 

from: can't read /var/mail/Crypto.Cipher
./entrega2.py: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token ('
./entrega2.py: line 2: obj=DES.new('abcdefgh', DES.MODE_ECB)'

It can't read from Crypto.Cipher. However if I execute the intepreter of python, then I can do this:

from Crypto.Cipher import AES

This sentence in the intepret runs but in a file not. I don't know why.

Sorry because my english is very bad and my skills low.

Can somebody help me? Thanks

Solution

  • Make sure you execute the script as python entrega2.py

    Or

    Add the following at the top of the script:

    #!/usr/bin/env python
