Hello @Alex_GM ,  
Check this reply for a solution (you have to enclose the code):

> [@Python script to Rhino button](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/python-script-to-rhino-button/38806/2):
>
> Create a new blank button, open the editor then put in the following: ! \_-RunPythonScript ( \<paste entire script in here\> ) HTH, --Mitch
