Change the directory to the path, where your Script is with cd. For example when your script is on desktop in the directory develop:
Open cmd
py Desktop\develop\your_script.py # or cd Desktop\develop\ py your_script.pypy is the new helper tool, which launches the Python interpreter without modifying the PATH environment variable.
More about this tool: https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#launcher
You can also use the graphical editor IDLE to run your program. The shortcut is F5.

That's not a script, it's a module. It doesn't make sense to run it directly. As is described in that page's readme, the way to use it is to make a new file, import it, set the options you want, and to then run the file you made.
