Accesing python

terminal sez
NameError: 'python3' is not defined.

I just realized that once i typed 'python3' & saw this (>>>) that i was now in python. Sorry for the questions, but I am truly a beginner to all this, there is much to learn.

If the terminal is not comfortable to you there are IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) i/e editors that can be installed. If that is what you are looking for go to MenuSystemInstall / Remove Programs.  When it opens there will be a quick filter box at the top. In the box type "python ide" and it will show a list of IDEs that can be used with python.

Geany is the one I use.

Thanks, I went with the basic python IDE 3.4. I have lots to learn. -jola
