Based on the ">>>" prompt, I'd say you tried to type this
into the python interactive interpreter. It's supposed to be
a shell command -- i.e. you *invoke* the python interpreter
to run the file from the command line.

If you are already running python, then you might get what
you want by importing the module:

>>> import sudoku

but whether that's what you really want or not depends on
how the module is meant to be used (is it a "module" or a
"script"?).

Cheers,
Terry
