Hello! So, problem: I downloaded python 2.5 but can't seem to find or open the text editor. I can open the "Python Shell" by searching for "python.exe" in my C drive, but I can't find the text editor. The "Python Shell" window it gives me doesn't have any menu toolbar(s) such as "File, Edit, etc" that you might be able to find the text editor from, and it's not in the python folder installed on my hard drive.
Wtf/ help?

The text editor is in the file section of the window in python shell that says "New Window". You may need to reinstall python 2.5 or install a newer version.

What you are looking for is called Idle. It is the GUI text editor as opposed to the command line interface. Here is a quick video that may help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXbpB5_ywDw

Open a new IDLE process and press ctrl+n to open a new editing platform.

Another alternative. You can type your code into notepad or something similar, and then save the file with *.py as extension. Then from IDLE (the GUI interface for Python), Click on Open (under the File menu) and open your code file.
