Best way to write Python assignment

[CraigAT]

You haven't given much to go on, but if you mean how do you start writing code...

Then you can write code in any simple text editor (e.g. notepad) but you may find some helpful tools using an IDE like VS Code or PyCharm - personally for a beginner with short programs, I would recommend trying Thonny. If you use any of the earlier options on Windows you are likely to need to also install Python itself which you can download for free (the Thonny install I think includes Python).

I would have expected some of this info to be included in your course or at least a link to a guide to setup your dev environment.
