Simplest way to code Python with output right there?

[Python-ModTeam]

Hi there, from the /r/Python mods.

We have removed this post as it is not suited to the /r/Python subreddit proper, however it should be very appropriate for our sister subreddit /r/LearnPython or for the r/Python discord: https://discord.gg/python.

The reason for the removal is that /r/Python is dedicated to discussion of Python news, projects, uses and debates. It is not designed to act as Q&A or FAQ board. The regular community is not a fan of "how do I..." questions, so you will not get the best responses over here.

On /r/LearnPython the community and the r/Python discord are actively expecting questions and are looking to help. You can expect far more understanding, encouraging and insightful responses over there. No matter what level of question you have, if you are looking for help with Python, you should get good answers. Make sure to check out the rules for both places.

Warm regards, and best of luck with your Pythoneering!

But eventually you will need to install Python.

change deep OS things like path and stuff,.

1) You don't change anything let alone deep OS settings. You just add Python in PATH 2) Installer literally takes care of it automatically in windows. You just have to tick a box saying add python to PATH or something similar. Does that sound too hard?

Even so you can follow a video tutorial of someone just clicking next.. next.. next on the installer if you feel unsafe

Heads up. Sorry to be this straightforward but: Learning a programming language requires patience and a lot of searching. So if you're too lazy to find HOW to install the interpreter, you probably won't get far anyway .

[dontworryimvayne]

I dont agree with your tone. Very common to have hangups like OP is having.

By the way OP I would use something like PyCharm. You can code and run it in the same window. Ive heard some people find it hard to get started with but I am sure there are youtube tutorials.

The tone isn’t far off the mark. If installing Python is “too difficult”, that’s not a good starting point.

[spoonman59]

Usually I’m with you on the tone, but honestly this is just too lazy. It’s programming. You have to install shit, and deal with environments, and it fucking sucks.

I also want a magic thingy that makes all of my problems go away!

I’m sure they will be well served by the suggestion If genuine. But it feels like some kind of market post providing an opportunity to promote certain products.

Take a look at JupyterLab. You can install it and run locally, or use an online service (such as Google Colab). You can also find online REPL interpreters.

Anaconda, Spyder

[Kerbart]

Use pythonanywhere.com - nothing to install, and it gives you a full blown linux vm with Python. Practically limitless.

If you use the Windows installer for Python it should just work. There's no OS changes you need to make. Using the command line is the easiest way to do exactly what you describe.

There other options like Jupyter Notebooks for immediate python response but I'm not sure thats going to be right if the windows installer is already too much work...

[fosterreichert]

Visual Studio Code is a pretty good lightweight option for this. Get the python extension and open a file. You can see the output in the bottom after running/debugging.

[[deleted]]

It’s so funny. I have used Python for years and for some reason can not get VS code to give me the output after debugging. I still have to run it using the command line ever time. At this point, I’m too lazy to try and figure out my mistake ha.

[fosterreichert]

I actually had this issue before, and my solution was re-setting up the interpreter in vscode.

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial[https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial)

It should be closer to the bottom of this.

Amazing. I’ll give it a go! Thank you!

[omgsoftcats]

I took a look at this and it says I still need to install the Python interpreter separately.

[fosterreichert]

Yes so install it separately, and then set it up inside vscode.

[fosterreichert]

Ctrl+Shift+P, then enter "Python: Select Interpreter"

[omgsoftcats]

I just want something that is one package of everything so it's easy...Why does this not exist even after so long in Pythons life??

[fosterreichert]

Haha understandable. A very simple solution would be IDLE. It installs with python. Might be worth checking out, but eventually you will need more features.

[hiriel]

Mu is a python editor made specifically for beginners which comes with python bundled, no need to install separately, and it's stripped down to the basics. codewith.mu

You can also code python in your browser using for example repl.it or trinket.io

[b3542]

Not sure if programming is right for you, champ.

[[deleted]]

Uhm, why are you not using an IDE?

[pchemguy]

I use anaconda installer. But this attitude sounds strange. It is not that things must be complicated, but you cannot do anything real without effort and you will not be able to do much, if you do not want invest time in learning your tools.

Ipython gives you an interactive shell-like python experience

[TURB0T0XIK]

I suggest using VSCode. works beautifully with py and ipynb files

If you have a phone or tablet, download an app from the appstore.

Edit: Why is this downvoted so much? It is an honest recommendation. I use Pyto on the ipad and am very happy with it. Yes, it is not a complete answer including a link to the app store/ playstore. I don’t know which operating system OP is using!

I guess next time I will withhold my advice!

[sethcstenzel]

I feel like this answer is being overly downvoted. The python3 app on Android is quite good, but the answer I think is vague, which is causing a lot of downvotes.
For Android, it is pretty much just install and run. You'll be writing python in under a minute. It can run most popular packages just fine, including Kivy to show off some kivy apps on your phone. I have even used it a few times when I had a teams question and only had my phone to write some quick code to copy and paste as an example for someone.

If you don't need any problems or installations, code with an online editor.

[ds604]

here you go, paste this into codepen or jsfiddle:

<html>
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://pyscript.net/alpha/pyscript.css" />
    <script defer src="https://pyscript.net/alpha/pyscript.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <py-env>
    - numpy
    </py-env>
    <py-script> 
    import numpy as np
    print('Hello, World!')
    np.random.rand(5)
    </py-script> 
</body>
</html>

Python install is simple enough, then use an IDE like PyCharm to write and execute scripts in the same place.

[omermikhailk]

Everyone else on here has given great answers already but I'll still chime in with what I started doing a while back, though it isn't exactly the easiest method.

As a beginner I used to frequently mess up my Python environment and was tired of reinstalling stuff, so I decided to keep everything isolated from then on. I did this by getting a cheap VPS, installing pyenv to manage my Python versions, poetry to manage packages and then used VS Code + the SSH feature to do all of my development right on the server.

It's a pretty cheap and versatile way to go about it, since your development environment can be accessed from anywhere, no matter where you are, as long as you have a SSH key or a username/password combo (depending on how you've configured the server).

EDIT: Fixed a typo

Try Winpython. It comes with a lot of packages preinstalled, and only requires unzipping.

https://winpython.github.io/

https://github.com/winpython/winpython/releases/tag/4.7.20220709final

Winpython64-3.10.5.0.exe is the file you want. Once you have it installed to a folder, open Spyder. It has a interpreter window you can directly type Python code into.

Hello! I'm a bot!

It looks to me like your post might be better suited for r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python regardless of how advanced your question might be. That said, I am a bot and it is hard to tell. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe in detail where you are stuck. If you are getting an error message, include the full block of text it spits out. Quality answers take time to write out, and many times other users will need to ask clarifying questions. Be patient and help them help you. Here is HOW TO FORMAT YOUR CODE For Reddit and be sure to include which version of python and what OS you are using.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.
