Executing Python Scripts on Mac using Python Launcher

[David Thomas]

I have installed Python 2.7.3 from Python.org also in Terminal it states that I have 2.7.3.
How can I execute the script from Terminal?  I've tried typing python into the window and then dragging the file to terminal but I get a syntax error.  Sorry I am new to Python and just want to know how I can open such a file using 10.7.

Thanks

When I try to execute a file using Python Launcher my code seems to cause an error in terminal, when I execute the exact same piece of code and run it in windows it seems to execute as exactly intended.
