Beginner Help - Geany and Cmder
#1
Hello, I've recently decided to finally start learning a programming language and I chose Python. I bought the book "Python Crash Course: A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming" by Eric Matthes like many others.

The book suggest I use Geany so I downloaded that. The problem is, my cmd isn't working for some reason and so I got Cmder. However, whenever I try executing the "Hello World" print, I just get the default Power Shell screen on Cmder (since my cmd isn't working that's the command task I'm using). It doesn't actually run the print script at all. I'm on Windows by the way so I can't use the built in terminal that Geany has either.

My question is, how do I get it so that Cmder becomes everything cmd is supposed to do, so that running the print script does what it's supposed to do (according to the book I'm supposed to see this):

Hello Python world!
------------------
(program exited with code: 0)
Press return to continue

Any and all help and guidance will be much appreciated, thank you in advance!

I decided to migrate to Microsoft Visual Studio thanks to a friend who knows more than me. Seems that Visual Studio works far better than Geany for me. Thanks to everyone who read the thread and considered helping~

Just as a advice you should not be using Visual Studio,but VS Code which is much more geared towards Python.
Have a tutorial here VS Code from start.

Thank you very much! That's actually the one my friend linked to me, I must have mistaken the name, silly me. Yes, you're quite right in that it's really been amazingly easy and slick to use, I'm really loving it. Thanks again for the reply :)
