That looks like a terrible resource. There are plenty of tutorials and
books out there that are actually good. I suggest starting with the
tutorial from the Python docs:

Yes. You will also need to "cd" to the same directory where you saved
the script. For example, if you saved it to your Documents directory,
then type "cd Documents" at the command line.

You might also want to read a tutorial on the Mac OS X command line,
