New to Python - scarcefox8888 - Feb-02-2018

I'm new to Python, this Forum, and... coding in general.

What is the best version for python on a windows 10?
Do I need a syntax editor or any other resources to get started?
If anyone if could give advice about how to write the hello world code I would be much appreciative!

thanx -scarcefox8888

install the latest python which currently is 3.6.4
https://www.python.org/

follow this guide with the install

Python on Windows comes with an IDE (called IDLE) to write code with a basic syntax highlighter. But most people find IDLE to be pretty crappy. But it can suffice for the beginning.

Then learn this on how to execute python scripts

and a simple python hello world would be
print('Hello World')
