If you're asking what I *think* you're asking, using, eg IDLE, I use the
File->Open Menu to open the file where my script is stored. This opens a
new window showing my script. On that window, I click on the Edit Menu
which gives me options, including "RUN SCRIPT". (In Windows, if I
remember, it's simply F5. Here at home on my Linux box(Mandrake 9.0 running
IDLE 0.8) it appears to be CTRL-F5)

Just remember that if you import any modules, you need to actually reload
them using reload(Module) or you end up with the same stored version of the
module, instead of the updated version.(It's amazing how many times I
corrected an error, only to finally realize that I hadn't reloaded the
damn module so it really wasn't going to show whether it was fixed or
not... )
