Rod, I'd have to agree with Larz60+ on this one. It's sometimes good to be "safe", but when you are just starting out, why bother? Go for it. Python will go to version 4 and OS's will go to 128 bit or more.Īs a new programmer, you will end up writing your own programs, whether just for yourself or a larger community, so you have to ask yourself, are you more apt to to target Python 2 or Python 3? Are you more apt to target a 32 bit system or a 64 bit? The other thing to remember is technology doesn't go backwards. You have to remember that a 32 bit program will run on a 64 bit machine but a 64 bit program will not run on a 32 bit machine. The same complaints were made when OS's moved from 32 bit to 64 bit. I have to say though, given some of the posts and links by Larz60+ it certainly deserves another look. Now they have to work to get all those people back. I had to abandon it's use when I switched to Python 3 as did many others, I would imagine. An example would be wxPython, which only just recently released a stable Python 3 version.
The problem is, some of those remaining modules may never be converted, simply because they've been abandoned or it is a large program, with few contributors or they wanted to add new features and such before releasing the v3 compatible product. For instance, type “ Test” for your file name.There was a lot of complaints when Python 3 came out, mostly because there were many modules not converted from v2 to v3. You’ll also need to type a name for your file. You’ll then get a message to save your code – Press OK.Ĭhoose a location where the Python file would be saved on your computer. For example, type/copy the following code that would print the famous expression of “ Hello World” print("Hello World") You’ll then see the “untitled” box, where you can type your Python code. Click on File and then select New File (alternatively, you may use the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+N). Once you click on the Python IDLE, you’ll see the “ Shell” screen. You should then see the IDLE under “ Recently added.” You can run a code in Python via the Python IDLE.Ī quick way to find your Python IDLE on Windows is by clicking on the Start menu.
Note that depending on your needs, you may also check the box to add Python to the Path:Īdd Python to PATH Step 3: Run a code in Python exe file that you just downloaded, and then follow the installation instructions. To start, go to /downloads and then click on the button to download the latest version of Python.

In this short guide, you’ll see how to download and install Python from scratch.
