How can I execute python scripts from another directory

Question

I am trying to follow a bad instructions website and because of that i'm getting troubles in executing scripts.

The website URL: http://www.tripleoxygen.net/wp/2014/01/sagemcom-modem-fst-2764-gv-power-box-gvt-desbloqueio/

The following commands is the ones i'm getting trouble with:

./unlocker.py --mode=install

The steps i'm doing:

Open CMD
D:(my flash drive directory)
python
unlocker.py --mode=install

What I get:

File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: can't assign to operator

but I don't think i'm executing the script, because there is no stdin in the file... So what I'm asking is:

Are my steps wrong?

How can I execute the script correctly from another directory?

Thanks in advance.

That website doesn't say to start python then enter unlocker.py. It says to type ./unlocker.py from the command prompt, not the Python prompt. You may need to do python unlocker.py, but again, you're doing that from the command prompt.

DUDE, you managed to get the script working, well now I have another problem, by looking into the py code, I figure I have to execute this script in my modem, how may I send commands over to my modem to execute this script? '-' (I think you are Brazilian so you can understand the website more easily also)

I was thinking of using PUTTY to connect with the modem and then send the commands to it, but there are two problems with it: How can I send commands where the flash drive is mounted? and doesn't my modem need to have python installed in order to run scripts?
