I am using Python 3.5 with IDLE for Python 3.5.

Whenever I try to print numbers, I have to use quotation marks like I was printing script. Whenever I try to do it with just the brackets, or with a minus sign, I get a message that says "unexpected indent".

Here is the code I am typing:

print (7)

Why isn't this working?

My guess is that you're indenting something. Without seeing the actual code and error message, anything else would be random speculation.

Can not have a space if typing in IDLE(start in interactive mode >>>).
Run as script File --> New File,write or paste in code save with .py extension,Run Module(F5).

Look at Python 3.6/3.7 and pip installation under Windows
Install 3.7 if you on Windows.
