I'm pretty sure that's a typo.  It should say:
python virtualenv.py

In general, to run a Python script, the simplest (and most
usually-expected) way is to start a command prompt (a.k.a. terminal
session) and simply type the word "python", followed by the name of the
script.  IDLE is meant for convenient editing and running - and it's very
far from the best tool even for that - but it is definitely NOT recommended
as a way to run production code; it introduces too much extraneous junk
into the Python environment.
