Download python

To download the python programming tools, click here.

Open the python folder, and you will see several applications.
The application IDLE or IDE depending on which version you are using, is the interpreter.
Type commands there for it to execute them.
If you go to file > New Window you will get a blank page.
This is where you will type your longer scripts with several lines.

The window that comes up automatically is the interpreter. Type scripts there to see if they work but you can only put one line at a time, so use the new window to write scripts.

To execute the script, save them (File > Save) and execute them (Run > Run Module) or F5. The window with the scripts must be selected for you to see the run option.
