It says run this command: ./configure --prefix=$HOME ...from the Python-2.6.5 directory under your home directory. The './configure' is the command that will be run (ie, the file $HOME/Python-2.6.5/configure will be run), and the "--prefix=$HOME" is a parameter to that command. In this case, it is telling 'configure' to build the application as if it were going to be installed in $HOME (which it will be). The ./configure, make, make install is a pretty standard way of building applications. If it still doesn't make sense to you, let me know exactly what it is you are struggling with. -- "You can have everything in life you want if you help enough other people get what they want" - Zig Ziglar.
