Don't save the files as .txt.

Save them as .py.

To do this in Notepad, when you click on the File Menu, choose "Save 
As..." and when you go to enter the file name in the box for that, 
type the file name in quotes like this:

"example.py"

Then Notepad will let you save with a file extension different from 
txt.

Hopefully that will help?

Have you tried using IDLE?
