Double click should work. If it flashes up and goes away really quickly, then you need to run it under IDLE or some kind of python shell.
Once you have Python installed, go to Start -> Run, and type in cmd to bring up the windows command line or whatever you wanna call it. Go to the folder where your python script is. Command is the same like macs or linux, with cd being change directory, and such. Type e: to switch to the e drive and so on. Note that dir lists the directory and its contents, not ls like in mac terminals. When you're in the same folder as your script, type the command like this: python <file name>.py That should do the trick. Alternatively, you can type in python and start the python shell in the same folder. Then you can just do import and whatever you like. :] Best regards, Ching-Yun "Xavier" Ho, Technical Artist Contact Information Mobile: (+61) 04 3335 4748 Skype ID: SpaXe85 Email: cont...@xavierho.com Website: http://xavierho.com/ On Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 12:38 PM, <rt...@yahoo.com> wrote: > I am new to Python and use Windows XP.
