How to install python

Python is easy to learn, especially for the beginner. because it is high-level programming language ( simply, closer to human language than low-level is )

Python can be downloaded from here (it's free) :

http://www.python.org/download/

you can see there are 2.7.x or 3.x versions ( linux, Mac os, windows)

the difference between two is some statements (or functions) are not really same.

you can read document here : http://wiki.python.org/moin/Python2orPython3

and of course, python 3.x is newer versions.



but, i am currently not a professional developer though, having almost 5 years programming experiences with various languages...

i will present 2.7.x on this posting. :)




after installed,

look similar like this

Python shell ( prompt )

if you followed completely though here, you have python environment on your computer.
