was it installed ?

I found a file named python in my folder of usr/bin, Was it a hint that python has already been installed in my machine ? :)

thanx for any ideas~

run python. If it works, you've got Python.

http://python.org/doc/2.2/tut/tut.html

I don't know how to use python myself but here is an online tutorial from the python website.

that's python. it's called the interactive mode. you can enter python code, and it's processed by the interpreter one statement at a time.

python files can also be passed on the interpreter: [myprompt$] python foo.py

there's a simple gui called idle that's included with most distros. also i use a gui called Black Adder, which is a full featured IDE, but it costs money (a small amount)...

I am at a bit loss because I was used to GUI, I didnt know how to control it under console. :( for example how to save. where could I find some explaination doc please ?

www.python.org...they have a basic tutorial there...

try man pyton if you hava u will see the manual

The traditional way to write Python code would with Emacs. ;)
Emacs's Python mode is really great. By saying C-C C-C(C- means Ctrl) you get the buffer interpreted immediately. You get also syntax highlightning if you have set it up.

type man pyton and read
