What OS are you using? In Windows it's a program called Command Prompt. In Mac OS X it's an application called Terminal. In Linux it's usually called something like Terminal or xterm. However, if you don't know how to use the CLI (command-line interface), then you're probably better off using IDLE, a development environment that is included with the Python installation and includes an interactive interpreter. Just look for the IDLE program and run that.
