You should write your functions in a file with .py extention
then start python from a com line,
do 
import file_name
then test your functions just as it is shown in the lab text:

>>> binary_search(roster, 'Copeland Jermaine')  -- is an example

I will be testing functions in a similar fassion. I will have a test
function that will call your functions with test operands.

There is a link to a tutorial:  The only quick way to pick up puthon for
me.
