Hello.
I'm am very new to the whole programming sence.
Welcome. :)
I am trying to catch on but as soon as i want to write a program i've
been told to use like 'notepad' in windows XP and save it as a .py file
i have gotten this far. Am i wrong so far?
It's fine so far. Computer programs (especially ones in python) are text
files which are formatted in a specific way which can be understood and
executed by Python.
When you write your program, you use an editor like notepad and save the
program as a .py file.
You're okay this far. The next stage is to ask Python to execute this
program. You do that by typing
python program.py
and hitting enter.
If i am right why is it that i can't run it in anyway besides it opening
in 'notepad' i've tried opening with Python but it doesn't work.
How have you tried opening it in python? Can you show us your program?
P.S. It's a good idea to use a proper Subject line for your mail. :)
