A bit more precision in your question would help. I'm going to assume 
that by "Python GUI" you mean IDLE.

You are likely trying to work in the interactive prompt. Very useful, 
but not for writing programs to save. For that, File->New and you will 
be in an IDLE window that lets you edit, run, and save files. (Be sure 
to save them with the .py extension, as IDLE doesn't automatically do so.)

Best,
