Thank you gentlemen for the prompt responses to my inquiry. I believe it would be best for me to use the ActiveState installation for my laptop. I like Microsoft trying to make it easily to download Python but I am not sure if it has been fully implemented yet. Again, thanks guys.

For example, in addition to what you've heard, these days there are a ton of people doing data analysis, Big Data, etc. and they often prefer to install Python through the Anaconda distribution, which has optimised for getting the particularly relevant packages installed easily alongside and in sync with Python, and then keeping those up to date. In the near future, but maybe not quite there yet, Windows 10 will also have a Python "app" preinstalled, which, when you launch it, installs the current version of Python through the Microsoft Store. I think you can already install via the Microsoft Store, but it's not something that magically appears on your system even before you think to look for it... see here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/python-37/9nj46sx7x90p?activetab=pivot:overviewtab That looks like it wants later than the 1809 version, but should be ready for the 1903 version of Windows 10? and you wanted a simple answer ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

The compiled HTML (python*.chm) documentation is also included in the official PSF (python.org) distribution. It's in the "Doc" folder. The installer should create a shortcut to it in the start menu. The current release of Windows 10 includes a `python` command that installs the 3.7 app bundle from the Microsoft Store. This is a simple one-click install method that should be easy for anyone. Unfortunately the above-mentioned python37.chm file is not included in this distribution. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

It depends a bit on which python distribution you use, there are several. Personally for Windows I always recommend the ActiveState free version. It bundles several useful extra Windows tools and puts the docs in Windows help format for you. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] Installing Python v3 on a laptop Windows 10
It has been some 18 months that I last installed Python onto my laptop Windows. Having had freshly completely reinstalled Windows 10 and its various updates. I already installed PSREdit500 successfully several weeks ago, I am now ready to install Python, preferable the latest version of Python 3. I understood there is a preferable method of installing Python into Windows. I pray tell on how about to do it, gentlemen. I have been using Python v2.7.15 along with Geany v1.32 in my computer running on Ubuntu 18.04.2. As you can see, there is a sharp learning curve for me on how to use and learn Python v3. Thanks.
