If You Are On Windows

Install Anaconda - https://www.continuum.io/downloads Comes bundled with tons of goodies for scientific computing, and great utilities like IPython Notebook (Now Jupyter) right out of the box.

If You Are On Mac

Congratulations! Python is built into Mac OSX! However, you may run across people that swear by "brew installing" Python. This is because if Apple updates Python, it may mess with anything third-party that you have installed if you use the system installed Python. Brew installing Python gets around that.

You should also consider installing Anaconda. https://www.continuum.io/downloads

If You Are On *nix

Congratulations! Python is usually packaged with most *nix installs!
