Hi Stephen,

Welcome!

Python comes preinstalled in Ubuntu. Did you try typing in 'python' in the
terminal to see if it launches you into the interpreter?

If that doesn't work, you can install python using the following command in
your terminal:

apt-get install python

Amjith.

Although you may need to prepend this with "sudo":

sudo apt-get install python

and authorize the command.

Also, if you are familiar with IRC, the #pdxpython channel on freenode
is a good place to get help with all things Python.

Cheers-
