Can I run a python program from within emacs?

[Robinson]

I have also just started with both Aquamacs and Python so I ask for  
your patience as well.
When I evaluate the buffer (C-c C-C) I don't see any response or  
output from my python program. Should another buffer open  
automatically? Should a terminal window open?
thanks for your patience.
