I've found the best way for a new user to learn Python is to use IDLE, which comes with the Python installation. Here is a simple and easy explanation on how to get started:

Please see this documentation on using the python interpreter: https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/interpreter.html

first,

either add the path to your Python interpreter into your environment variables, or navigate to that path (usually c:\Python27\python.exe on windows)

then,

type "python" into the command prompt.

Doing so will start the python interpreter and will look something like this:
python interpreter

then you just type in your command:

You have a few options:

  1. You can save it in a file. Then run python yourfile.py to execute the command. The typical file extension for Python source code is .py.

  2. You can run the Python interpreter. This is a way to quickly test Python code without having to save it to a file. Simply type python and you will see a few lines telling you the version of your Python interpreter followed by >>>, which is the interpreter prompt. Any Python statement you type here is immediately executed and the results printed out:

    burhan@sandbox:~$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Jan  2 2013, 16:53:07)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print 'hi'
hi
>>>

    To exit the interpreter, type quit().

  3. A third way is to use the -c flag of the Python command. This tells Python to immediately execute the code following the -c flag, like this:

    burhan@sandbox:~$ python -c 'print "hi"'
hi
