How to practice coding in Python offline?

Question

I was using CodeAcademy to learn the programming language, Python. Although CodeAcademy offers a site for practicing Python, you need to be online to use it. I cant use Powershell to type if statements. So is there an editor(like Delphi/Lazarus where you type and then compile) for Python?

Answer 1

Just download Python from the python website, install it and then look for IDLE in the start menu under Python.



That is really all you need for now. Also google how to use IDLE. There's not allot to it. Later on you can experiment with other IDEs.

Answer 2

There are many software or editors for writing Python coding.



Here are some of the free tools for coding Python-



Sublime Text (lightweight and support most of the coding language)

Downloading link - http://www.sublimetext.com/2



Notepad++ (also a lightweight editor)

Downloading link- http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.4.5.html



Eclipse (an IDE but for writing Python coding you have download Pydev plugin for it)

Downloading link - http://www.eclipse.org/

Answer 3

Notepad ++ has syntax highlighting for Python. Also, if you download and install Python from, say, http://www.python.org, you can always run your code. Python isn't compiled, it's interpreted.

Answer 4

you can run whatever python script in your shell if your script wasn't wrong.

if you type

if 2 == 2:

print u"your number is two"

else:

print u"your number is not two"



try it :)
