The Python interpreter is certainly included in python...

What OS are we talking about? If you are running windows,
it's called python.exe, and you can either run it
interactively, or you can execute python-scripts with
it. Typically that happens if you double-click on a file
with endings .py, .pyw, pyc or .pyo.

In Unix/Linux, type python at the prompt, or run a script
which uses the normal #! trick.

These are the platform I work with.

You can also use GUI wrappers for the interpreter, such
as IDLE, which is probably also included in what you got.
(idle.py or idle.pyw in Windows.)
