Python Installing Python - Step-by-Step Guide

AI Thread Summary
To start learning Python, it's essential to install the correct version, which in this case is Python 3.4.2. After installation, users can write Python programs using a text editor like Notepad++, saving files with a .py extension. Python is necessary to run these programs, as it executes the code written in the files. For beginners, Python typically includes an integrated development environment (IDE) called IDLE, which can be found in the start menu, although some users prefer other editors like Notepad++. To debug and compile code, resources and methods are available online to help identify and fix errors in the code.

Use an editor (e.g. Notepad++), write your program and just save it as something.py . Double-click it to run

Γεια σου ρε Μηνά! thanks
 
that means that i only need python to run programms?
 
Which of these do you mean?

A. You downloaded python 3.4.2 as a zipped file or something, and don't know what to do to install it?
B. You downloaded and installed it, but don't know how to write a program and run it? (the question MinasKar answered)

In either case, it helps to say which operating system you're using: Windows, Mac OS, Linux, or something else? (and which version?)
 
windows 7 64bit, yeah i dowload, i install it but then i don't know what to do, and if i install notepad++ and write on it then why do i need python programm?
 
Use notepad++ (or another editor) to write your program and python to run it. Without python installed in your computer, you can't run any of your programs.
 
Python usually comes with its own IDE called "IDLE", you should see it in the start menu. It may not be the best editor, but it will get you going.
 
actually...yes u are right i found it but i like more notepad++ :) thanks for answer buddy
