I didn't see anything related below. What program did you try to run?
How did you try to run it?
, and Python closed. Then I couldn't get Python to restart
You need to be clear whether you mean Python or IDLE.
IDLE is a development tool written in Python. To run IDLE you
need Python but to run Python you do not need IDLE.
stilll couldn't start Python,
Python or IDLE?
Can you be more specific about what you are doing? How exactly are you
trying to 'start python'?
Second, I tried to run my Python programs today via IDLE but when I
checked the Edit Menu I couldn't find a Run Menu
Which implies that you started IDLE. But IDLE requires Python so you
must have solved the first question?
How do I run a program once I have written the code in IDLE?
If you open a new Edit window and type your code (or open an existing
file) then there should be a Run menu item.
However that should only be used for testing, IDLE is only a development
tool.
To run a completed program you should only need to double click it in
Windows Explorer (assuming all associations/permissions etc are OK)
Of course what you see as a result will depend on the program - does it
run in a console? Does it have a GUI? A Web front end? Is it interactive
or does it just run and terminate? It all depends...
