You can use any text-based editor (i.e. not one that focuses on fancy formatting). Sublime Text is common, Pycharm is heavy-duty but great (more learning curve though), or you can get IDLE, which a lot of people don't like but I personally still use sometimes.

so do you mean copy and paste the whole script on to note pad or something?

Are you just working interactively, or are you using an editor or IDE?
It's important to give as much information up front.
It's very difficult to solve a problem if there are too many unknowns.

Idle is sort of bad for a lot of reasons.  So instead of copying and pasting from it into a real text editor, just start with a real text editor.  Notepad++ is pretty good, so is Visual Studio Code (which is free), and Atom is also pretty good.

PyCharm is excellent.

Idle does have a save method.
click File-->save
or File-->saveAs
