You can call a .py script from the command line, and it will run there. So, in Windows XP: Start > Run > type "CMD" Vista: Start > type "CMD" into the Start Search field. If you're in Linux, get to a Terminal. In Windows another window will open with something like...C:\FolderWithMyPyFile> Linux something like.... m...@ubuntu-desktop:~$
Assuming "uberprogram.py" is in the current folder, you can then just type into the command prompt like C:\FolderWithMyPyFile>uberprogram <then hit enter> You can see the results of the program right in the command prompt/terminal window.
