The interactive interpreter has its reasons for being, but almost everything
you do will probably be interpreting a file like in the above example.

BTW, I'm also fairly new to using Python, but I've found it to fill a
perfect niche between the ease of Perl and the low-level abilities of C.
Anyway, the point being is that it's almost identical to Perl in how I call
it files from the shell, usually with a pound/bang in UNIX or as a command
line arguement in Windows. Good luck!
