Where are you clicking? The desktop? A menu? Windows explorer? And where does it say python or pythonw? > I can write on its dark surface, but it does not have tools like file, play, > edit,... It sounds like you are opening the Python interpreter in a command console. It will be helpful for you to learn how to use that console. There are several tutorials on the web if you search for "Windows command line". However, for now, you probably want to use IDLE which should come with Python. (It is sometimes called Python GUI on Windows too.) You should find it under Python in your All Programs view. Alternatively you can use Windows Explorer to search for the idle.bat file. Once you find it you can create a shortcut to your desktop or your start menu. 3 > what i need is, to be able to program on it, You can program using notepad and the console that you have but IDLE will be a better experience. On my Windows 10 box IDLE lives in this folder: C:\Python34\Lib\idlelib It should be similar for Windows 8.1 -- 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
