But that's not how the Python interpreter works. You say you are trying 
to run "py files" at the >>> prompt. If what you are doing is this:
 >>> test.py
Well, no, that's not going to work. If you want to run "test.py" as a 
script, from the CMD prompt you type:
 python test.py
If test.py is a module meant to be imported, then from the Python prompt 
you do this:
 import test
Hope this helps.
