I am using windows os.  What other programs is professor using to comment out sample code? I know he is running in idle.

You can do that using IDLE. With a file open (not in the command window), theres a dropdown menu at the top called "Format" that contains things like comment/uncomment section, indent/unindent. If you highlight a section of code and press those buttons (or their associated hotkey) it will do that to the code.

In PyScripter-portable.exe I can highlight a section of code and press those buttons (or their associated hotkey) it will do that to the code.  BUT I can not see all the stack frames. See attached file.

The class uses 2.5.4. You really want to use a 2.x version for the class, or a lot of the code won't work and you'll have to be translating it to 3.x.

I can not see all stack frames in python 2 for windows.  Please do not say, that I must use python for mac

If you already know how to use a source debugger and programming, then translating to the 3.x line will not be too hard.  On the other hand, if you are just trying that out on your own, well, it is not really used in the course.

2.x to 3.x has some very major changes.  Even 2.7 will do a few things differently than the class version, but 99% of the commands will be the same.  If you are not going to make yourself aware of the difference and do not already know programming, then using 3.x will make the class very difficult to follow properly.
