Python would not run after installation
#1
I have just installed Python 3.8.1 (Windows 10, 64 bit) on my computer. Apparently it installed correctly and it shows in the list of programs, when I click on Start in the bottom left corner of the screen.
But when I click on IDLE (Python 3.8 64-bit) and I type ‘Python’ to launch the program, I get the following error message:

NameError: name 'python' is not defined

I am not sure about what I am doing wrong.
Thanks for your help.
