Do0n;t make us guess, tell us the name of the book, well known or not. 
There is just a chance somebody else may have read it too!

This is where you are going wrong.
You should not run python on its own, that gets you into the Python 
interpreter with its own >>> prompt. For this exercise you want to run 
your script directly from the OS prompt (on Windows usually ending in a 
single >)

See the other posted replies about typing the command.
It will likely look like this(but all on a single line)

C:\Python32> python 
c:\Users\myusername\Documents\varios2\pythonjourney\script1.py

Don't put spaces in your paths, that will confuse Windows...
