   Hi @TbusOS,

   It appears that your issue is not a result of an issue with this python file, but rather with how you are attempting to run the python file.

   I first did a quick Google search since I wasn't sure what pythonpy was exactly and it appears that pythonpy is exclusively for running Python oneliners, i.e. like running python -c '<python oneliner>'. See Debian pythonpy package page.

   If you want to actually run the compiler try the following (I'm not on my Ubuntu machine so I can't verify this 100% but its the same general process regardless):

   1. Run the usual sudo apt update.
   2. Install Python with sudo apt install python3.
   3. Install Pip with sudo apt install python3-pip.
   4. (Optional) If you want to use a virtual environment first run python3 -m pip install virtualenv to install, then (from the project directory) python3 -m virtualenv <virtual environment name, e.g. 'venv'> to create the virtual environemnt, finally activate the virtual environment using source ./<virtual environment name>/bin/activate.
   5. Install openpyxl with python3 -m pip install openpyxl. ¹
   6. Compile to your liking python3 compileExcelASM16.py bouncingBall.s ROM.xlsx. ¹

   I hope this helps.
