Python.... what it is ?


Python is an interpreted language, even though there is a compile step in the translation from ASCII text source code to binary machine language. However, because the source code is interpreted the compile step occurs each time you execute a Python program, and no compiled machine-readable object file is created.

Python is a command line application; on Windows operating systems it runs in a Windows Console (a.k.a. Command Prompt window or DOS window). Your command to run Python must either include the full path to the Python interpreter OR you must include the full path to the Python interpreter in your PATH environment variable
