On the Mac, 'Python Launcher' seems to just configure how python will 
run programs run under python. Generally from the Dock, you will want to 
click on the 'IDLE' icon, which launches the Python IDE, which gives and 
editor to write python programs or load a python script.

The other way to run python is from the command line, using a command 
like python3 myprog.py
