[clue] command line programming

[Thomas DiGennaro]

Dear Louis,

 

Have you installed Python yet?  What operating system?

You can simply run python and enter commands at the prompt.

 

$ python

 

After you've learned a little bit, you can use a text editor to create a
file:

 

test.py

      print "hello world"

 

And then

 

$ python test.py

 

You do not need an IDE, but you will soon want one.  I like emacs and
Eclipse with PyDev extension.

(Please let's not start an emacs discussion.)

 

I like the O'Reilly Python in a Nutshell, but it may be more of a reference
book.

You should search on the net for "python tutorial". There will be many.

 

Oz
