Insufficient information (you've given the equivalent of "my arm hurts"
without stating which arm, where it hurts, and the nature of the pain; a
big difference between "it was caught in a door jamb" and "a chainsaw cut
it off").
Where are you downloading from (the URL might be of use), which version
(if there are more than one version at that URL). WHAT OS! For Linux it is
often easiest to just use the distribution package manager to
install/upgrade Python.
What happens when you run the downloaded file? How are you trying to
run Python?
What happens if you open up a command shell and enter just Python (or,
for safety python3, since you shouldn't even be looking at python 2.x but
some Linux distributions still use 2.x for there own uses)

Python is not a development environment. It is a compiler/interpreter
for files containing Python source code, normally run from a command shell.
Many installations do include a Tkinter-based program called IDLE which can
be run if one really needs an IDE -- though there are many third-party IDEs
for Python which may be better.
