Hi Westpa,

Welcome!

You'll need to download the Python interpreter and run your program from
there.  You can find a link to the interpreter here:

    http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.2/Python-2.2.exe

Just install the Python-2.2.exe executable, and you should be ok.


Instead of using Notepad, you might want to use IDLE, a text editor
designed for editing Python --- many people have found it easier to use
because it handles indentation and does syntax colorizing too.  Here's a
tutorial for using IDLE with Python:

Please feel free to ask more questions.  We'll be happy to get you
started.  Good luck!
