Noobie asking for help to setup scripts

[oscarblizzard]

I am brand new to this and I have worked hard to get to this point to ask. I am trying to open up a script and of them. I open the MY FILES folder in explorer and click on the SCRIPTS folder and I click on a script PY file. I get the word "Running" and then nothing. Googlenews for example, I get No Module error when I click on white button. I do have internet access through linksbots program and able to network files from PC
I don't expect to have the answer flat out given to me, I do enjoy the learning process. I just need some help getting started. I am not sure what questions I should be asking. Anyone know of any good guides to get started with ?

I have been doing alot of studying - trial and error. Still no luck with getting any scripts to open. When I review the script (white button) a common error seems to be occuring. For example :
File "Q:Python\os.py.line 133
From os.path import (curdir, dardir, sep, pathsep, defpath, extsep, altsep)

Syntax Error: Invalid Syntax

Anyone have any ideas ?

the os module is standard. My guess is your system/python folder isn't up to date. go here and make sure all your files match. http://xbmc.cvs.sourceforge.net/xbmc/XBMC/system/python/

Or grab the latest T3CH build. That has everything package for you.

Thank you. I realized I had an old version of XBMC. I found the most recent version. FTP deleted the contents of the XBMC folder and replaced with the new XBMC contents.
