I installed Blender 2.6 and I'm trying to run a script called drawcar.py (Which uses PyOpenGL)

I looked around the documentation for importing a script and could only access Blender's python console.

How do I run drawcar.py from the Linux terminal with Blender?

You can also execute the following code in the python console to execute an external script without opening it up in the text editor:

filename = "/full/path/to/myscript.py"
exec(compile(open(filename).read(), filename, 'exec'))

The above code comes from the following link:
