Aquamacs, just like any variant of GNU Emacs, will show a Python
menu.  There's a "Start Interpreter" function, and one to evaluate the
buffer (C-c C-c).  It's pretty straightforward (a euphemism for
obvious).

If the Python menu doesn't show, then something is going wrong. M-x
python-mode RET would switch it on.
