If you wish to run it on Linux, simply save it as a text file with the extension of *py. Then to launch it, type

Code:

python yourfilenamehere.py

. The same applies to Windows. If you wish to distribute your code as a Windows executable, you will need to use the great utility py2exe.

you don't. it's an interpreted language, just write it and run it.

I understand that the language is interpreted, but what if I WANTED to compile for the reason of running it, wether or not python is installed on that particulare machine?
