So you're using IDLE, that being the message you get when you use the Edit |
Run Script menu item. "Python Shell" is the interactive IDLE window, which
you don't normally run.

Try creating a new script window with Edit | New Window (CTRL/N) and
entering a script in it, then choose the File | Save menu item and store it
in an appropriate place on your disk. Then try running the script again,
using Edit | Run Script from the new window's menu bar.
