Hi John, Welcome the user group!

Yes it is.

There are many different ways to do this, but for now I think the best idea would be to type

$ python Birth_Month.py

To tell the terminal that you want Python to run your program. 

I hope that helps, after the initial learning curve I think you'll find learning python and programming hugely rewarding! Good luck and stay in touch.
