Bengt has given three chunks of advice, but perhaps the simplest is to get
the various shortcuts to use "python -i", which very handily leaves the
interpreter at the interactive prompt even after a syntax error. You do need
to terminate the session with a CTRL-Z RETURN, but it can also be very handy
to poke around in the remains of a program after it's failed.

I'd also like to pint out that Windows 9X won't treat Python scripts as
executable from the command line, having no mechanism to do so.
