I notice "Python for Kids" uses Python 3.2, and (p. 9) IDLE, the
Integrated Development Environment that comes with Python. But it
doesn't sound like YOU'RE using Idle: Look for an icon/"button" that
says Idle, instead of Python. Try to make sure that it says something
about Python 3.x, since 2.x is different in a few respects (in case you
installed the wrong one).
If you use Idle, you'll need to open a new window (from within IDLE) in
which to create/edit files, and it will prompt you to save them before
you can run them (which will automatically happen in the other window):
all of this can be done from the menu bar of the "new" window. It will
be sort of obvious once you start.
It appears to be an interesting book, one of the reviewers is 15 y.o...
but it's not light, I will be surprised if a 5 y.o. gets through it.
They suggest 10 yo and up. But kids can often rise to challenges, good luck!
