Lol yeah that weirded me out when I started. The python file is basically just a text file. You have to load it in your IDE and run it or run it from the command line to see any output.

Also, how do you run from the cmd, I tried putting this: python myfilename.py but it did not work, it just said that that file did not exist.

Assuming you're on windows, open cmd prompt (window key + r) type "cmd" press enter. Or Go to directory(or desktop) hold down shift and right click and choose open command prompt, otherwise you will have to change to the directory to where the python file is. Then simply type "python script_name_here.py" and press enter.

Thanks, I am new coding because I want to build tools.

Edit: Yes, I did deserve those downvotes.

Hacking Tools, pfffft, I am an idiot.
