Can't run Python code in Command Prompt

I'm new to Python and I created my first piece of code which is simply 

print('Hello World!')

and it works fine and I named it hello.py. When I try to open the file it says with "python hello.py"

I get an error message that says

File "hello.py", line 1 PYthon 3.4.4 (v3.3.3:737efcadf5a6, Dec 20 2015, 20:20:57) [MSC v.1.600 64 bit (AMD65)] on win32

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I added Python to the PATH so I don't know what's the issue

You're not supposed to put those lines into your script. They come from the interpreter, giving information to you. You're only supposed to include in your script the commands that you want to give to the interpreter. In your case, your hello.py file should consist entirely of this:

print('Hello World!')

and nothing else.
