I have programming experience using Fortran, Pascal, Modula 2, and some
training in C++. My nephew told me about Python and it sounded intriguing. I
downloaded Python 3.3.0 from this website (www.python.org) and installed it
with no apparent difficulty.
To learn the language I bought a book from Amazon.com, Python Programming for
the Absolute Beginner by Michael Dawson. The book said the program could be
downloaded from a particular website, but that website does not seem to be
offering that service any more.
Everything went well until I got to page 11 and the instruction “To save your
program, Select File, Save As.”
That is when I realized there are NO pull-down menus in the Python screen. No
file commands such as Save, Save As, Open, or Print. No operational commands
such as Compile, Run, etc.
What else do I need to do to make this version of Python an actually usable
programming environment?
Thank you for your assistance.
