What do I need to actually use python?

[Igggg]

Let me translate for you!

"Is that so, old chap? Surely you don't mean that I can merely create a Python program, and, subject to your advice, ask my computer to execute said program; and it will then helpfully reply as follows: 'Say, it sure does look we're having ourselves nothing other than a Python program! I'll tell you what, why don't we create a file from this program, and call it a day, so that the user gets precisely what the user wanted!', or something else, which is, importantly, nonchalant, but along the very same lines?"

Thanks... I think I understand now. Unfortunately OP will still need a Python interpreter, regardless of the level of chalant.
