>how do you put a plain text program into python command line?

To run a Python programm, you can:

1) Run it directly in the system command line (eg. DOS box if you run 
Windows, shell if you run a Unix-like system). Basically, the command:

         python myscript.py

should work, but this is system-specific. For more information, please tell 
us which system you run.

2) You can also import a module into the Python command line (I think this 
is what you asked).
- Save your script in a text file. Call it myscript.py. In Python, this 
file is called a module.
- Start the Python interpreter.
- On the Python command line (>>>), try:

         import myscript

Top-level Python code in the programm will run directly. Objects defined in 
"myscript" can be accessed individually. Eg. if "myscript" contains a 
function called "myFunction", try this to run it:

         myscript.myFunction()


Cheers.
