Using ROOT and opening TCanvas

[jj15g]

I'm creating a program to make some histograms from a datafile. I'm not sure how to use ROOT for this. This is my code

#! /usr/bin/env python3
"""
ntp.py: Example PyROOT program which stores data
in a ROOT TNtuple which is then plotted using
the ROOT plotting routines.

Hnppm.Draw()
# Save the ROOT TFile containing ROOT objects
rootFile.Write()

....

Should I save this as a .root file? When trying to run it with root I type the following commands into the command prompt:
root -l
root "filename.py"

I am getting the error

Error:
"ROOT_prompt_0:1:5: error: expected ';' after expression
root Problem1c.root"
