Running Files with Command Lines
You can ask Python to run it by listing its full filename as the first argument to a python command like the following typed at the system shell prompt.
run
python hellowrold.py
hello,世界
Type the following statements into a new text file named hellowrold.py:
# A first Python script
# hellowrold.py
print('hello,世界')
The Interactive Prompt
Assuming the interpreter is installed as an executable program on your system, the most platform- neutral way to start an interactive interpreter session is usually just to type python at your operating system’s prompt, without any arguments. For example:
session
python
