Using PyScripter with Python

[Oldman45]

I am using 'Think Like a Computer Scientist' to teach myself Python and it has introduced the use of PyScripter. I have downloaded PyScripter 64bit to match my Python 3.4 but while it will open a Python file it will not let me run it.

I would be grateful for any help or recommended tutorials.

Thank you.

You should not at all use Python 3.4 anymore as new user in Python.
Here how you do it.

---

Python 3.8 (3.6-3.7) and pip installation under Windows
Choose the Python 3.8.4 64-bit version in link here
Follow test in link over so python and pip command work from cmd.

Now download PyScripter the 64-bit version here
