Python 3..9.0

[Schachner, Joseph]

You're not doing anything wrong, but clearly it's not what you want to do.  You are running the Python interpreter and not specifying any script to run, so it opens a command prompt and promptly closes it, I'll bet.  

What you want to do is open a development environment.  Try Idle, it's there in your Python installation.  Or download PyScripter, or Jetbrains' PyCharm, or Wing  (see recent new version announcement).

Hi,
I just downloaded the above for Windows but am unable to get it to run.  I have gone to the directory and double-clicked the "python.exe" file but that just brings me to the command prompt.
Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?
Thank you.
Joe
