What I imagine is happening, due to the error you've provided, is that the Python REPL is still running. If that's the case, you'll want to use CTRL-D to exit the REPL. Then, running python hello.py should run your actual file for you.

If this doesn't work, please provide some more details on what you're trying next and what it's telling you.
