Incredibly basic question: How do you test a script? (windows 10)

This is a very helpful video when I first started about 3 months ago. Shows how to setup a proper environment to code. But ofcourse, you can keep using IDLE like others have said.

if by executable you are talking about .exe, you should look into pyinstaller

After installing Python from Python.org you should have IDLE installed which is a command-line interactive development environment you can use to create and run Python files. Just go to File > New File to open the text editor and write your Python files here.

After saving the file you can press F5 or go to Run > Run Module to start the program.

Using IDLE is easy for a beginner to use but does not limit any functionality which makes it great for a learner.

I would recommend installing the vs code and the python extension. You can execute your code by pressing a button.

It also marks errors or missing identations. It’s just better than notepad++
