The only thing about using IDLE for everything is it’s not as robust as some of the other options for text editors or integrated development environments you can find – so we will be using one of those. You can then type you program, save it and run it from IDLE.
I want to note that you can actually write entire programs in IDLE by opening a new window. Setting Up A New Programming EnvironmentĪ programming environment is the set of programs that you use to create and run the programs you create. If you haven’t already – please read Part I & Part II of this series before starting this article if you aren’t familiar with Python. Since we will start writing multi-line Python programs – we will also have to look at our programming environment to get a better setup for writing more complex programs. In this tutorial we are going to be expanding our knowledge of these two concepts by writing a program that outputs a personalized message to the user and their age in dog years. In the last part of this tutorial series we went over basic Math and String operations.
