Python Philosophy (The Zen of Python)

import this
# Beautiful is better than ugly.
# Explicit is better than implicit.
# Simple is better than complex.

  3. No semicolons needed - One statement per line
  4. Comments - Use # for single-line comments

python script_name.py

# With specific version
python3 script_name.py
