Using Python: The Python Shell and IDLE 

It is 2020! just starting out with Python. Was not able to figure out how to write multiple lines of command at a time. Thank you!

Thank you! Every other tutorial just thought I knew this already.

Its 2021- and i don't regret clicking your video- very detailed thanks and thanks - all the way from South Africa.

BRO TYSM, ALMOST 14 YEARS LATER AND IT STILL WORKS

It is 2020, and I did not know ANYTHING, but youtube recommended YOU. THANK YOU!

Exactly what I was looking for. Just a quick, simple introduction to the IDLE and program editing capability. Thanks a ton. Thumbs up.

Best Python tutorial on RU-vid. I am already familiar with the Python language. I just needed this refresher to remind myself of how the user interface works because it has been a couple years. Every other Python tutorial assumes you already know everything, which means the other videos aren't really tutorials, at all.

That was hugely useful! Thank you. So many tutorials on how to code, but little info on how to use the editor.

Thanks a lot @David . It takes 4 hrs to get your video , but is giving soothing effect to fingers and heart well.

Exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks man!

Such a good introduction for the people who are not familiar with python / python interpreter interface!!! Thanks!

Thanks for this basic introduction - a great help getting started developing in an efficient way.

i ran your video on speed of 2 .... and understood every bit of it ... so much helpful

Cleared the basic difference between the two. Thanks David !

You are a genius because my mother tongue is Spanish,I did not understand to my teacher but right now I catch it. Thank you a lot.

Well explained. I'm just getting started and was using the IDLE shell, but hadn't figured out yet how to make use of the secondary windows. This was perfect. I agree with the previous comment that the spotlight effect seems to hide more than it highlights-- I found it a little irritating.

Dude, you have just saved ma life..! You know what i was directly using the ptthon shell and as you have said in case of an error then i had to retype my code...kudos..!!

I cant thank you more .. none of the book explained this more beautifully .. i had to switch to notepad++ just because i couldnt put all statements sequentially ... many thanks!!

Thank you for teaching the very basic of python. You are a great help!!

Brilliant explanation--may you live long

Thank you... I was lost and now I'm on track. Thank you again

Nice Tutorial. Very Helpful. Keep it up!!!

Thank so much for this tutorial, I was almost giving up👍🏼

Thank you! I'm learning python from a book on my free time and wasn't sure what to use this explained all of what i needed!

Thank you. Was excellent introduction, did not skip a thing no matter how simple it must have been to David. Only small criticism, the spotlight almost blacked everything else out on my screen. But overall, great, THANK YOU.

Thank you so much, i could not find this anywhere else

Thank you! I am going through a Python book, been through 4 chapters and have been wondering how to not use the interactive shell. I assume the book gets to that at some point, but this is very helpful all the same!

Thank you so much. This is actually what I was looking for...

Great introduction for a newbie like myself.....thanks!!

this video was helpful to me - thank you

Thanks a lot. This new window concept helped me a lot.

Best Video to start your day with!

Thanks for this video, I found it very useful. I'd been doing various bits of Python in Code Academy, and by the time I came back to Python itself, I'd forgotten which window did what. It's quite confusing that IDLE is also called a shell!

Very clear and helpful, thanks

great tutorial, this just helped me a lot

14 Years and still a GOAT

Really good video. When new to programming just learning which windows to actually use is pretty important, obviously. Yet in class they skipped this step.

This video was sooo much help thank you

Thank you, you have help me understand the difference between the python shell vs the python IDE

You explain so well! Ty!

you explained very well brother and it was very helpful for me as i am learning cs for the first time. thank you i hope you will do many more videos.

Super useful! Thanks for this!

Thank you so much I’m new to coding and this really helped and I’m shore it helped a whole lot of people to

Very simple video but also very helpful!

Great tutorial. Thanks for the help

Excellent, excellent, excellent tutorial!

Thanks. Keep up the good work!

Very helpful! Thank you so much.

good stuff, simple and right on point. Thanks.

wow. this answered a lot of my questions thank you

Thanks, i'm learning python from scratch and it would be surprising to many just how confused I was at the difference here.

thank you. It was really helpful

Old Video But Still Good.. I Tried learning python awhile back but never stuck to it , Always got distracted with other languages.. Now im finally getting back into it and since i am a beginner , Didnt know how to use the Python shell but this video made sense of it all lol Thanks...

Super helpful, thank you!

a great tutorial for novice..keep it up

Thankyou so much Sir..it really helped me!❤️

well explained in very short time interval

hey what are you using to run windows. Im having to use my dads comp to do my program for now till i figure out how to use windows on my mac or use python the same way

Bro was ahead of his time

Very helpful! Thanks

Before running the file, does it create a compiled version of the file? Like a .pyc or something? I didn't see that show up on your desktop, so I guess not.

Dude You answered all my question.

Thank you David!

thank u soo much sir... this vdo was helpful to me...

very helpful to me thanks a bunch!

Fantastic! Thank you!

Nice job, man!

great vid!

Thank you sir. Its easy to understand. ☺️☺️☺️

this works nice on the RPi3. thanks.

very helpful! Thanks for that

extremely helpful

thank you very much i have been looking for this intro for a very long tyme, however may i ask, is it possible to run the same program, like firstprogram.py from the IDLE prompt without first opening the file and choose run?

how would you create a game that would allow you to access the code from the edit window while being in the shell

Thank you....Very helpful..!!!

Thank you, that helped me a lot

I've got a python. Don't act like your not impressed.

Thank you Nice video helped me

Very nice tutorial. Now i can call premade python module function from the shell.

Very useful video

thankyou it wasvery helpful

I get an error that says "Print is not defined" any idea how to fix this?

Thank you It was very useful Pycharm didn't work on my pc, so I was confused how to write multiple commands on shell

thanks a lot for the detailed feature.. can you please guide on how to install pyscripter and which version. i have windows7 64 bit and python 64 installed...

good tut. thank you.

If you're still wondering. paste this: sudo apt-get install idle-python2.7 into your terminal and it should then come up. I had the same problem.

Appreciated this.

thanks for the video

Boss, you're the BOSS!!

Quarantine and I ended up here but never regretted 😌😌

Thank you !

thx Thank you. you are the BEST

Thanks. Your video is very helpful. I study python by myself, so it is hard to have someone to ask if I have any questions. I found python 3.9 hard to track and fix the scripts, especially I am a beginner who makes many errors. I usually use sublime text but this app does not run with some commands.

thanks for the tutorial

Great video! One question: what's the point of the first thing, the black screen? Is it simply to see your program run right away in the same window? It doesn't seem very useful since one cannot save programs in it. Thanks!
