what happens when you type
python
at a command prompt ?
if you get a
>>>
prompt, what happens if you type print "hello" at that prompt?
>>> print "hello"
if that appears to do what it says, what happens if you type
>>> import this
if all this seems to do something other than printing "syntax error" or
"unknown command" or similar stuff, point your browser to this page:
http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html
and work through the first few chapters.
otherwise, post the error messages.
