Normally, you do not want to run your scripts from a Python shell,
but from the bash etc. (Linux shells) or from a DOS console 
(Windows) etc. For this, you use: 

    python <path_to_file>

If you really want to run a script from the Python shell, the 
following will do: 

    execfile("<path_to_file>")
