I am using the Windows PowerShell s a means of using the Python 3.9 interpreter.
I wrote a simple test program in the Atom editor
The program imports the library tkinter. When I run it using the windows power shell it come back with
the power shell prompt no error messages are produced and it basically does not present a canvas on the screen.
Yet if I use the python interpreter via the Power shell command line, that is first I call up the python interpreter
and the enter each instruction line by line I get a canvas window.
Is it my atom, editor? I know python via Linux seems to work very well but under Windows things do not work so easily,
What do you type to run the program?
