If you execute Python from the command line with no script, Python gives you an interactive prompt. This is an excellent facility for learning Python and for trying small snippets of code. Many of the examples that follow were developed using the Python interactive prompt.
In addition, there are tools that will give you a more powerful and fancy Python interactive mode. One example is IPython, which is available at http://ipython.scipy.org/. You may also want to consider using IDLE. IDLE is a graphical integrated development environment for Python; it contains a Python shell. You will find a script to start up IDLE in the Tools/scripts directory of your Python distribution. IDLE requires Tkinter.
