Make A File By Doing The Following And Paste The Code In The File And Save:

nano prime.py

# Generate Prime Numbers
# Based On An Article From http://dunningrb.wordpress.com/
 
import datetime, sys, math
 
# Function to print message
def print_prime(x):
  print " Prime : %7i " %x
 
# Function to search for prime numbers
# within number range
def find_primes(upper_limit):
  count = 0
  candidate = 3
  while(candidate <= upper_limit):
    trial_divisor = 2
    prime = 1 # assume it's prime
    while(trial_divisor**2 <= candidate and prime):
      if(candidate%trial_divisor == 0):
        prime = 0 # it isn't prime
      trial_divisor+=1
    if(prime):
      print_prime(candidate)
      count += 1
    candidate += 2
  return count
# Check if the script was called with a
# parameter. Use that as the upper limit
# of numbers to search
if len(sys.argv) != 2:
  upper_limit=1000000
else:
  upper_limit=int(sys.argv[1])
 
# Record the current time
startTime = datetime.datetime.now()
 
# Start the process
print ""
print "Start ..."
print ""
count = find_primes(upper_limit)
print ""
 
# Measure and print the elapsed time
elapsed=datetime.datetime.now()-startTime
print " Found %d Primes In %s" %(count,elapsed)
print ""

To Run The Script Do The Following: 

python prime.py

If You Want To Run A Different Range You Can Use The Following Command Line And Change The Number

python prime.py 50000
