Coding in Python: a comprehensive Beginners Guide to Learn the Realms of Coding in Python

Chapter One: Make a Start
This chapter will walk you through the process of making a start in Python
coding. You will learn how to download and install Python on your operating
system. You will also learn how to start the editor and write a code in Python
text editor.
The first thing you should know about is setting up a Python environment on
your operating system. Python is installed differently on different operating
systems. There are currently two available versions of Python which are
Python 2 and Python 3. Each programming language keeps evolving as
developers add to it new concepts and ideas. Python developers have taken a
step further by making regular developments to the language, making it more
powerful and versatile as well. You can install both versions of your
operating system.
Python 3 Installation
Python is one of the most widely used programming languages that were first
launched in 1991. Since then Python has gained immense popularity. It also
is considered one of the most popular as well as flexible programming
languages. Unlike Linux, Windows operating systems don’t have Python pre-
installed by default. However, you always can install Python on the Windows
operating system is a very easy step.
The prerequisites of installing Python 3 on your Windows system are that
you must have Windows 10 installed on the system and have admin
privileges. Also, you should have a command prompt running on the system.
The next prerequisite is the availability of a remote desktop app. You can use
it if you are planning to install Python on a remote Windows server.
The first step in the installation process is selecting the version you want to
install. In this case, we are aiming at downloading Python 3. You should visit
the official Python website python.org and download Python 3 installer for
Windows. Now run the same on your system. As you are just getting started
on learning the Python language, I recommend that you download and install
Python 2 and Python 3 versions to test old and new projects simultaneously.
