You want to download the 2.x.x version. The sample code will not work properly with 3 and above.

The OCW site courses also say we have to download the IDLE development environment. http://docs.python.org/library/idle.html I'm not sure about this though. If all the exercises will be done on Codeacademy, maybe we don't need it?

anonymous · Answer

As far as I know idle comes with all releases of python although I have not personally tried all them.

I know people answered this question already but please if possible, tell me what languages (programming) of course, did you learn first.
