Hello all,
I just wrote a really simple script and named it helloworld.py. Inside
was only:
#!/usr/bin/env
print "Hello, world"
I used chmod to set the permissions, and ran it to see what happened (I
just started learning Python, if you couldn't guess)
Then, I typed ls in the directory to see what was there, and I noticed
a new file, namely helloworld.py~ . What is that file (its contents
are identicle to helloworld.py)? Why the ~?
Thanks a lot. I'm using Ubuntu Linux 5.04 (Hoary), and wrote the
script with gedit.
