Question

Hi there, I have a probably quite dumb question: When Mr. Guttag says he doesn't wants to type the code in the Python Shell where does he type it instead? I'm probably missing some instructions but I don't know where to find it.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Instead of a python shell. You can save it in a file and end it with .py . Then you can open it up with python. Detailed instructions at

Answer 2

Type the code into a text editor and save it as a .py file.

Notepad ++ is nice and easy to use.

Or use IDLE

Answer 3

Hi again,
I downloaded Sublime Text 3 and it works so far. BUT when I enter a simple command like

print ("hi there")

The console just tells me: "[Finished in 0.xs]" but not the actual "hi there".

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 4

lose the parentheses?.....
