Best way for now is from the command prompt (like "c:\\python25\\python test.py")

Since many newbies have no idea how to start a command prompt I'll add:

go to

Start->Run

type CMD in the dialog and click OK

A black window should appear, this is the command prompt.

Typing

python<Return>

at the prompt should get you a Python >>> prompt.
Typing

Ctrl-Z<Return>

will exit it.

But as mentioned elsewhere using IDLE (or Python GUI
in the start menu) is a better option. Or if you got the ActiveState
version of python better still use PythonWin.
