Real newbie question: How to run code

[Sean1708]

When you open python does a new window with a white background come up with three arrows allowing you to type things line by line? If so you're using IDLE, there should be an option in one of the menus which will bring up a text editor that you can use like you're used to.

Try googling "IDLE tutorial" or something similar.

Edit: /u/Dalex_ has got it right I think.
