[docs] How do I install an interpreter?

[Slater, John]

Hello,

I'm in a bit of a pickle, so this is both a request and a doc bug report (possibly). Full disclosure: I can't code my way out of a wet paper bag. I've been given a somewhat critical python script to run on my windows box. I found this:

https://docs.python.org/2/faq/windows.html

And I got to the step where it says:

You should then see something like:
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 22.71:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

Well, I don't see that. So I'm guessing an interpreter isn't installed. Where do I get one?

Additionally: I would suggest your documentation needs a fork there that says: "Don't see something like this? Click here"

Just a helpful suggestion from a lost n00b.

Also, if you could get me some help on where to get an interpreter, that would be great too.

Thanks!

John
