Assuming python is on your PATH within that terminal, you'd normally do
something like:

cd  /fullpathtoscript                  (the location of your script)
python   myscript.py                (or whatever your script is called)


If that doesn't work for you, please be specific about what happens. 
Best way to do that is to copy/paste the text (showing in terminal) 
into your reply here.

Also, please don't top-post.  Put your new text AFTER the part you've
quoted from earlier messages.
