(assuming you mean "run" instead of "see" in the last
sentence, right?)

what environment are you using?

most IDE's (including IDLE, PythonWin, emacs, etc) have
commands that run your Python program and displays the
output.

otherwise, if you're using Windows with any non-Python
aware editor, fire up a command window (aka MS-DOS
prompt) and run the script from there.  e.g:

    c:\mydir> python myscript.py

hope this helps!
