That's python, waiting for you to type in some code.

The picture you sent IS python. Also what adult swim says will bring you to the same terminal. Python is a programming language. It execute commands. No graphic user interface. In the other trhead snova said you to start with the tutorial. The problem you could encounter is the version problem. You mentioned 2.6 and have 2.5.2. This is not matter for the tutorial. Only continue. The differences are later with the modules. Also You may have the features of 2.6 in 2.5 by doing import future or something at the line. I suggest you to don't use this if you don't know what import and module is. Continue and you will have fun.

For a GUI python editor, I use Eric, but keep at the terminal for tests anyway.
