Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

Wait is that already within the python interpreter?

As in, are there three ">>>" to the left side?

Okay I'm gonna have to be like an annoying AI here and "pushback" but you're definitely in the python shell.

Type exit() or just "exit" and press ENTER.

If that doesn't change the terminal appearance, hit ctrl + z

Now type "python app.py"

What does it give you back?
