Installing Python

[elz]

Before you can write code in Python, you'll want to make sure it's installed on your computer. There's a PDF on the assignments page about getting started with Python and IDLE. It also says:

Warning: On the Python homepage, the latest version available for download is actually 3.0. Do not install this! This version is not backwards compatible with the code that you'll be writing in this course (for example, you have to type print("test") instead of print test.)

Here's a direct link to the Python download page - it looks like we'll want to use 2.6.4.

(My notes so far: installing on Windows is a snap. Shall investigate further on OS X and Ubuntu - I know Python is installed, but I'm not sure IDLE is.)

Comment if you run into any problems or have any advice!

I intended to draft you the very lttlie note in order to say thanks a lot once again relating to the extraordinary principles you have featured at this time. It has been simply seriously open-handed of you to supply openly what exactly most of us could have supplied for an electronic book in order to make some dough for themselves, mostly considering that you might well have tried it in the event you desired. Those tips in addition worked to be the great way to be certain that some people have the same interest just like my very own to find out good deal more with reference to this problem. I know there are several more enjoyable times in the future for people who examine your blog post.
