Python download for windows

[Mike Dewhirst]

HilaryPython isn't an ordinary program as understood by (most) Windows users.It needs a command-prompt in which to run interactively. In other words, after successful installation, open a command prompt (aka DOS prompt) and type "python". It should open, announce itself and display its characteristic prompt >>>Your daughter will write programs in files with names. If a file has an extension .py and it is double-clicked (when seen in its directory/folder in Windows explorer) it will be executed by Windows using the installed Python. You don't have to worry. That is your daughter's problem.You really should adjust Windows explorer so it doesn't hide file extensions. Hope this helpsCheersMike
