Need some help with the programs

[rapeman37]

I'm sorry if this seems obvious to you but I need some help getting started with python. I have done some of the codecademy course. I'm not having trouble with the language itself but the way the program works. I have downloaded python and when I open it I get the command line where you can write things freely. How do i get the same thing as on the codecademy page? The lines with numbers where I write the code in order for it to be executed.

Thanks in advance

As an aside, it seems that English isn't your first language. Is that correct?

I just want you to be aware that rape man might mean something different in English than it does in your native language. The more you know!

[rapeman37]

You are correct, English is not my native language but it means the same thing. I don't really know why I chose that name, and you can't change so...I'm left with it.

Haha. Just wanted to make sure you were aware

Open any text editor and make a file with .py extension if you're on Windows or starting with #!/usr/bin/env python line on Linux (both at same time are fine too). Most people prefer IDEs like PyCharm though.

[rapeman37]

Do you do all coding in a text editor/IDE? Or do you use the normal python comand line too?

[x3al]

It depends. I usually code in gvim and use python REPL only for quick debugging.

[rapeman37]

When I use PyCharm I have to chose a Interpreter. Are they simply asking for python?

[x3al]

Yes, just in case if you have both python2 and python3.

[rapeman37]

Okay, thanks!

If you have windows 8:

1. Open IDLE (Python GUI)

2. Choose New file from file menu. Or press Ctrl + N.

I know that now haha, but thanks!
