IDLE's Shell runs your input with nearly identical results as with the
standard interactive interpreter, including exceptions.
I know I can open the file in the editor and use F5, but shouldn't I be
able to use a command from shell?
No. You enter Python statements, not terminal commands.

At the Command Prompt window's prompt, such as 'C:\user\you>', enter
python path/to/comment.py
The path shown before the prompt char, '>', is the 'current working
directory'. Learn to use the 'cd' command.
