$ python test.py

or

$ ./test.py (if test.py is executable)

$ python test.py

or

$ ./test.py (if test.py is executable)

Thats if you use un*x. If you word under windows, the first would work,
but rather use some IDE like IDLE or SPE than mess with the windows
command line. Then you just load the file and run it from the menu.

As would:

test.py

Assuming python grabbed the .py extensions correctly (which it shouold
have done with any recent version).

test

.... assuming you're on windows (Win2K or WinXP at least) and you've
added ".py" to your PATHEXT environment variable.

Assuming I have Windows XP, and I installed ActiveState Python. No any
other additional manipulations were done, no any PATHEXTes environment
variables, etc, etc, nothing. How many preparatory work required to run
one small python file?

I hope I'm understanding your question correctly.

I can't really answer with regard to ActiveState's version. I've only
used the Python.org binary installation for a long time, and it does set
up the path on installation. I don't think it adds the PATHEXT, but I
really don't remember; I've had some version on my computer since Python
1.5.2. Without that, though, all you'd need would be to type

python test.py

.... given the other assumptions you've indicated. Oh, if you are running
the python program (located in a directory not in your path) from some
other directory, you'd need to specify the full pathname, I suppose,
like

python c:\dir\test.py

I'd assume that ActiveState also sets the path up, but again, I can't
say for sure that it does. If it doesn't, then you'd add the Python root
directory to your path or else you'd have to specify *that* each time as
well.

How small a file?

(watch out for line wraps)

You can open up the folder containing the "test.py" file, then
double-click on the file to run it. A command-line window should pop
up, and your program will run in it. Once the Python program is done
running, the command window will probably close immediately.

Running Python scripts is easy. Load the test.py from the ActivePython
and run it.
Otherwise you can just click on the file, otherwise you can open a
shell in the dir where your py file is, and you can enter its name (so
you can see its textual output). Tell us what happens and
errors/problems you have.
