Open any text editor(even notepad if you like!).
Type Python commands into it.
Save the file giving it a name that ends in .py
Make sure it is saved as plain ASCII text not RTF or 
MS Word format etc.

The new file is a python program that you can run 
by double clicking in explorer(assuming you use Windows)

or by typing

python file.py

where file.py should be whatever you called your program.

If its a short program you may find it closes too quickly
to see it, in which case add the line

raw_input("Hit return to quit...")

as the last line.

HTH,

Alan G.
