Python is a command-line language interpreter... It is not, by itself, a GUI application development environment (for that there is the Tk based IDLE, which is provided with most all Python installations; PythonWin, provided with the ActiveState distribution and maybe still available as an add-on; Python plug-ins for Eclipse). Open up a command shell and type Python... It should bring up the interactive mode. Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
