I don't know it but assume it starts in normal X Windows fashion and you 
can create a normal Terminal/Console window? eg an xterm?

Is this for everything or just Python? If its just Python how
are you running it? Are you using an IDE(eg IDLE/Eclipse?)
or maybe IPython? Or are you just typing python at the shell?

If its everything then it sounds like you have switched to
a virtual console. Try hitting Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back to
your X session.
