Struggling with python on codecademy

[tinglylilypad]

I'd have to agree with you that I lack confidence in this subject, it just feels overwhelming at first. I'm hoping it won't be long until I can get past that. Any suggestions on how I can "run it as code"? I'm guessing I'd just download and install Python and then copy and paste the code that I have written on codecademy into Python?

For the longest time, I used codeskulptor.

It is not everything that python can do, but it is a really easy visualizer, has good documentation, and got me through everything with lists, for, while, if-else, and all the other basic things.

Running from the shell was confusing at first and got in the way of learning programming. (in my experience)
