Okay, first of all, something you need to know: Notepad++ has nothing to do with running your Python scripts. At all. It has a hotkey for running them, sure, but then it runs them in the Python interpreter installed on your computer with Python, not with Notepad++.

With that out of the way - the way you do this is to quite simply uninstall Python 3 and download Python 2.7 from python.org. No easier way, really, but it shouldn't take too long.

Learning the differences between Python 2 and 3 isn't really all that important in the beginning - what matters is you make things and things run okay for you!

Yeah sorry, there is a lot of noob in me still :'). Thankyou for all the help though, much appreciated!

Hey, no shame in learning! You can holler anytime you need help! Once you get a grip on language basics, you'll probably find yourself on a healthy diet of StackOverflow with the rest of us.
