I haven't used geany for python programming before, I will suggest you Google how to run python source code in geany.
There are loads of ways to run a python source, you could use your terminal, IDLE (python very own IDE),pycharm, eclipse and loads of other text editors and IDEs
I suggest you use IDLE , it's super simple and get think python book or how to think like a computer scientist, also PLEASE learn how to Google eg how to use geany to run python code.

Python usually comes (depending on how it is installed) with a suitable code editor known as IDLE (Integrated Development Environment or Integrated Development and Learning Environment) when installed, You have the option to use IDLE or any other editor you want. However, I encourage you to use IDLE as learners usually find it easier to run codes from IDLE.

Typically from IDLE all you need to do is:
1. File > New File
2. Type in your code in the newly opened window.
3. Hit Ctrl + S and save the file or File > Save As or File > Save As. Let's say you save the file on your desktop as Learn-Python.py
4. Run Menu > Run Module or Simply hit F5 to run you code.

Alternative Editor:
1. After Save your file on the desktop assuming you save it here C:\Documents and Settings\Yemi\Desktop\Learn-Python.py
2. Open command prompt by clicking on Start > Run > type "cmd" in the opened dialog
3. Change directory to the file's directory with
> cd C:\Documents and Settings\Yemi\Desktop
4. Then run the command
> python Learn-Python.py
5. At this point your code should run successfully (That is if you've added python to your system PATH).
6. If you get the message 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file . Then you need add python to you System Path, I hope you can do that.


NOTE: You can run python codes interactively (directly without saving a file), I'm assuming you intention is to create modules.

Nah, you can use the IDLE to learn how to programming and also how to the python programming language.

Ya,so sorry.
What I meant to say was,
IDLE is a good IDE for learning to how to programme and also learning the python programming language.

I think what you need is to locate where that file is saved then right click on it and choose open with python.

But as a learner I will advice you stick to python's inbuilt IDLE until you are familiar with it and how other stuffs work.

Happy learning.

Youre Totally Confused Because You've Decided To Take A Very Big Leap, Truth Is If Not Careful You'll Hit Your Head On That Very Big Wall ( Confusion) And You Might Give Up. Well My Advice For You Is To Retrace Your Steps And Maybe Start With Html And Css , You Might Find Out How The Whole Thing Works In A Very Simple Way. Maybe When You Know How To Open A .html File On A Browser, Opening a .py File Would No Longer Be Confusing
