Welcome to Treehouse.
I believe your Workspace is running fine, you're just missing one thing from the command to run the program. You're getting the error, because the console itself does not know what you mean by just the file name... the console is expecting a command. Here it would simply be python. This keyword tell the console to run python and then open the stated file.
So the complete line in the console needed would be:
python hello.py
Keep Coding! :)
