FizzBuzz is a drinking game where you count up from one, and if the number is divisible by 3 you say Fizz, if it is divisible by 5 you say Buzz, and if it divisible by both 3 and 5 you say FizzBuzz. If you make a mistake, you drink. It is commonly used by interviewers to weed out the applicants with minimal knowledge. Below is the code with comments explaining each line.
print "Welcome to FizzBuzz"
x=input("What number would you like FizzBuzz to go up to?")
#This bit greets the user and asks them what number they want to calculate to
for i in range(1,x):
#This line counts up from 1 to x with x being what is inputted on line 2
if i%15==0:
print "FizzBuzz"
#This bit prints FizzBuzz instead of the number if the number is divisible by 15, if it is not, it moves to the next bit
elif i%5==0:
print "Buzz"
#This bit prints Buzz instead of the number if it is divisible by 5, if it is not, it moves to the next bit
elif i%3==0:
print "Fizz"
#This bit prints Fizz if the number is divisible by 3, if it is not, it moves to the next bit
else:
print i
#This bit instructs the computer to just print the number if it does not fall under any of the above classifications
close=raw_input("Press <<ENTER>> to close")
#This line stops command line from closing right away

This was posted on XMB, and really there are only two ways people do it mainly. Either like you, four if statements, or like 3 ternary operator statements.
