I have installed python 3.5.2 ony windows 10 , but i can't find any IDLE there, what is IDLE and how can i install it on my PC.

Question

please help me ,iam a beginner

Answer 1

IDLE already comes with Python if you downloaded it from python.org. To open IDLE, look in where you installed Python (should be in your appdata), and you should find it. If not, try typing "IDLE" in the windows start menu (bottom left) as there should be a shortcut. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

You just need Python to create programs. Unlike other programming languages, such as C, Ruby, etc. which also need a compiler and stuff, Python doesn't need anything else as it's only the interpreter that reads the code. Basically, to create a Python program, you will need to open IDLE, then click on File > New File. Learn the basics (using SoloLearn and tutorials online) and start programming your own stuff in the new file. Once you have finished making the program, click on File > Save and save it somewhere as a .py file. The code can then be ran anytime. Also, you can find extensions for Python if you want to use the program for a special purpose, depending on what you want to do. Finally, for extra (useful) Python features, you can search the Standard Library available on python.org (you will learn later what it can be used for). But yeah, the basics are pretty simple. If I didn't answer your question, please tell me.
