Can I load a python program at the interactive >>> prompt?

[walterbyrd]

I am running cygwin on xp.

Much to my annoyance, I can not cut-and-paste from a windows app to
the python prompt. I think I could do this with putty, but I do not
have the permissions to install putty on my xp box.

Can I load a file into the python interactive environment?  For
example I have a file called test.py that consists of the following:

print "hello"
print "hello again"

Can I load that file into python at the >>> prompt?

>>> load "test.py"

or something like that?
