Hi everyone, I just started problem set 1. Can anyone tell me where the text editor is located? I downloaded Python and have the shell up but it is executing my lines when I push enter so I'm guessing I should be doing this in the editor but I can't seem to locate it.

In the Python Shell, go to File >> New Window. This will open a blank window for typing your programs.

Python's own IDE (which includes editing capabilities) is called idle.  On a PC, it's probably in C:\Python.

I'm having the same problem.  I can open the python shell by opening "python.exe" but can't get the editor.  inside the shell there's no toolbar with "File, Edit, whatevs"  
wtf?

My version of python is called idle. If you have a file called that, open that one. I also have a file called PyScripter. This is probably easier on the eyes in terms of writing long programs. Does a lot of autocompletes for you too. I'd recommend it as an alternative anyway.

Open IDLE process and press ctrl+n to open a new window containing the text editor. My best wishes!
