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.
