Version issue?

Question

Im trying to get my head around coding etc, as im going through this app, i also have Python 3.4.2 open (running on Raspbian, Raspberry pi 3 model B) im trying codes suggested in the app, in the terminal 3.4.2, but i have no "run" command or "output" box. in the app (code playground) i can insert multiple lines before i run a code, but on 3.4.2, i can only enter 1 line. When i press enter, insted of adding a line, it runs the code. it doesnt ask me for input or anything either if i use the "input" string?

Answer 1

Hi, maybe you are using the shell instead of the Python IDE.

Answer 2

Okay, iv found the issue, in my opinion, it may be worth leaving a note in the early stages of the course. I needed to go "File"-> "New File" write my code then save it as "something.py" and "Run"-> "Run Module". I admit, its a noob mistake, but for someone new to this, this kind of thing can be trickey to work out by themselves

Answer 3

Im opening "Python 3 (IDLE)" on the computer, but the banner at the top of the window reads "Python 3.4.2 Shell" any suggestions? id love to practise coding but this issue is confusing me, what i learn in this app, im unable to transfer to the pc. The commands that work in the app, dont work on the pc. surely, i must not be the only one with this issue? AWESOME app btw, 10/10 to the devs, im enjoying the learning process, other then the obvious hick ups
