The interpreter is the component of Python that changes your text file =
into bytecode and executes the file.  To run your programs you have in =
WordPad, type "python filename" without the quotes of course and =
replacing filename with the real filename you gave your programs.  You =
will have to do this in the directory that the program exists in, or =
give the full path to the file.
If by interpreter you mean interactive interpreter, you get this by =
typing "python" at the command line, without the quotes of course.

  Subject: [Tutor] Interpreter?


           I have read part of your great tutorial, but I am stuck on =
one thing. What is the interpreter? I have lots of small programs =
written up on WorPad, but how do I turn them into python executable =
programs? Yes, I have gone to the Python page for their tutorial and =
information about the interpreter, but it doesn't seem to help that =
much. If you could take a little time and tell me how to get to the =
interpreter, that will be great. I am running Windows 98 and SuSe Linux =
7.0=20
