Python code:

"<stdin>"
#!/usr/bin/env
print "Hello world!" 
print "How are you?"

The above is some code that I applied onto a script and it works when run in TextWrangler, but when I put it in Terminal, it fails.

Why is this happening? Does it have to do with the way I open the file?

    /usr/bin/env is not the correct path to Python. Most likely the shebang line should read:

    #!/usr/bin/env python

    I am pretty sure it needs to be the first line, so delete the "<stdin>" line as well (that’s ignored by Python anyway).

    Also make sure you have set the execute permission on the script: chmod +x /path/to/script.py
