You need to help us out here.

What program are you running or trying to run that has
this Window? It sounds like an IDE of some kind,
maybe IDLE? But most IDEs have a Run menu so its hard
to know where you should look unless we know the program
you are using.

What OS are you using and which Python version?
Are you following a tutorial/video or book?
If so which?

The simplest way is to use the OS prompt
(CMD.EXE in Windows or Terminal application
in MacOS or a shell window/console in Linux)
That should give you a prompt ending in either
$ or >.

Type

> python full/path/to/myscript.py

And your code will run in that window.
