But that's not how the Python interpreter works.  You say you are trying 
to run "py files" at the >>> prompt.  If what you are doing is this:

     >>> test.py

Well, no, that's not going to work.  If you want to run "test.py" as a 
script, from the CMD prompt you type:

     python test.py

If test.py is a module meant to be imported, then from the Python prompt 
you do this:

     import test

Hope this helps.
