Calculating factorial

[Olli Rajala]

Hi!
I've learned a few time Python and programming.  I wrote a function
that calculates a factorial of N and I was wondering if it's the best
(I think it's not. =) way to do that. I'm glad to hear your comments.

<script>

def factorial(f):
    result = 1
    for number in range(1, f + 1):
        result = result * number
    return result
    
print factorial(10)

</script>

Ps. Sorry my poor English.
