thx for your patience Dean. At the moment and until I choose an IDE for future endeavors, this is what I am doing (i dont see how to attach pictures without a url in a reply) ...
1. in my search box i type py and i see the py run command which has a blue and yellow logo
2. clicking it, i get a python 3.11.4 command window prompt >>>>
3. i paste my script after that prompt, get a warning that there are multiple lines
4. i bypass the warning, often hit enter one more time and i see my results in the command window
i usually go directly to power bi after that and without the print command try the script out in a python connector to view how power bi will behave on the same script.
