Well, that's not entirely correct, in order to start programming you need Python and just about any text editor, but notepad++ is a good one for Windows. Make sure, in notepad++ you've set the Language as Python, this gives you syntax highlighting and more for Python. Main menu bar --> Language --> P --> Python.
On the bottom left of the main window, there is the 'file type' , right click and select 'Python' this will automatically save file as a '.py' file. Over to the right is the line feed/carriage return used by your target OS. For now, leave as Dos\Windows, next to that is the encoding, change to UTF-8 by going to the main menu bar Encoding --> Encode in UTF-8.
There are a couple of Plugins for Python, but they are not required.
Next, I would NOT associate '.py' files with notepad++, this will jazz up running scripts by double clicking them (they are, by default associated with python.exe) If you need to open/edit a '.py' file, right click the file and 'Open with' Notepad++
Firstly, Thank you for reading my post. Secondly, I did what you have told me here and it seems it works. Yet, when I do the testing for example: print "Hello world" it does not do anyhing.
Any input on this ?
