Figure 4.28 – Connecting to the Python compiler
- Run a simple code snippet such as
print 'Hello EC2'
and you will see that the compiler executes the command and prints it:

Figure 4.29 – Running simple code
We have executed a simple Python application. In the next section, we will run a simple project on EC2.
