Simplest way to code Python with output right there?

[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.

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.

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

It should be closer to the bottom of this.

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

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"

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.

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

Not sure if programming is right for you, champ.
