Please help us to help you with more information:

* If you use a guide from the Internet, please give us a URL so we can 
compare.

The $ is the prompt, that shows you that you can enter commands. The 
_following_ words are the commands to the shell. You must not enter the 
$. The programs name is python, so you should enter only the name.
It is common to write commands with the $ in front to hint you to a 
shell command. Sometimes it's not $ but #, which means you should not 
enter the commands as normal user as $ hints, but as root, the super user.

Seems you are not familiar with Unix/Linux. I'd recommend you to read a 
beginners guide to Linux, and to read the Python Tutorial[1]

You're welcome.
