If the OS is configured properly then a normal python file can be
run without opening a command prompt. Just dounble click in
Explorer(assuming Windoze).

However if you want to distribute a python program without Python
being installed there are several options, the best known of which
is py2exe - again for Windoze

In this context % is not the modulo operator but the string format 
operator.

The trick is to create a format string which defines the structure
of your output string by inserting markers into the format string.
The marker for an integer is %d (for decimal) so you could write:

fmtString = "%d is a number"

This creates a template to create a string containing a number:

print fmtString % 42

Here the number 42 is substituted into the format string.
You must provide as many values as thee are martkers
in the format string:

print "%d plus %d equals: %d"   % (22,7,22+7)

Note the string has 3 markers, all decimals and we
provide 3 numeric values.

There are many other marker types as well as ways of
specifying the space occuipied, justification, padding etc.

If you don't understand any of that please reply with specifics
to the list.
