Installing Python


installed python 3.4 on xpsp3

We first need to make sure that Python is installed on your Operating System of choice.

Follow the Instructions at http://pytuts.blogspot.com/2011/06/installing-python.html

You can either Install Python 2.x or Python 3.x

  • Python 2.x is widely used and supports many frameworks and packages.
  • Python 3.x is the future and will soon replace 2.x.
  • For more information on whether to choose Python2.x or Python 3.x, visit: http://wiki.python.org/moin/Python2orPython3

 

Reply to this task with the following information:

  • Your Operating System

    Hello everybody!

    I'm using:

    • Fedora 19
    • Python 2.7.5

    And I'm very excited to start learning to program, because I think that it is just as necessary as speaking a foreign language.
