Special Ways to Execute Python in this Book

IDLE is an IDE,
it runs a python shell,
it allows you to run and debug programs.
try it (WINDOWS: start->all apps->python 3.6 ->idle)
you can also double click on the .py file if you installed the python launcher
this looks a little ugly I use emacs...
essentially you have to find an editor you like and learn how to use it.
