Hello everyone,
I am new here and very new to programming. I have downloaded Python 3.6.4, from the Python.org site. I have had a few problems
that have been driving me mad and are really impeding my progress. They are two separate problems causing me the same basic
road block.
I have tried to use Notepad++ and had nothing but problems trying to "Run" my code. I have tried setting the file path in the
Run pop-up box and have had problems with permissions and file paths. I also learned how to set a macro using plug ins and
still had the same basic result.
I tried using IDLE, from the 3.6.4 download package, which lets you run code with the simple press of the enter key, but it
won't let me highlight and change, or delete anything I have typed, once it is in the editor. I am dumbfounded as to how these
sort of problems both exist and how it is reasonably expected for "green" programmers to figure these things out on their own.
Would anyone please help me solve either of these problems ? I would prefer to understand how to solve all of them and have
options. I am interested in ultimately creating my own free standing GUI, so knowing how to fully utilize an IDE would be the
best, but I am interested in starting off some what simple. I don't want too many crutches or short cuts. Thanks in advance for
your time, consideration and any advice.
