Cant Get Powershell to run a python program from notepad++. Newbie help!

[Pythonerous]

Hey Forum!

Im new here and happy that I'm part of the community.

I just started geting into programming and recived a book on how to learn Python 2.7 and the first excercise wants me to write a script just printing a few lines of text.

I wrote the script in Notepad++ on Windows 10 and saved the file as a Python file. .py.

Once I save the file and try to run it in Powershell by typing, python example.py, I recive an Errno 2 stating that there is no such file or directory even though i just saved the file!

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong so I would appreciate some insight.

Thanks All,
