The following is a step-by-step guide for beginners interested in learning Python using Windows For beginners who are new to Python, we recommend you install Python from the Microsoft Store. Installing via the Microsoft Store uses the basic Python3 interpreter, but handles set up of your PATH settings for the current user avoiding the need for admin access , in addition to providing automatic updates. This is especially helpful if you are in an educational environment or a part of an organization that restricts permissions or administrative access on your machine.
If you are using Python on Windows for web development , we recommend a different set up for your development environment. Rather than installing directly on Windows, we recommend installing and using Python via the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
For help, see: Get started using Python for web development on Windows. If you're interested in automating common tasks on your operating system, see our guide: Get started using Python on Windows for scripting and automation. We only recommend this if you are a more advanced Python programmer with a specific reason for choosing an alternative implementation.
Go to your Start menu lower left Windows icon , type "Microsoft Store", select the link to open the store. Once the store is open, select Search from the upper-right menu and enter "Python".
Select which version of Python you would like to use from the results under Apps. We recommend using the most recent unless you have a reason not to such as aligning with the version used on a pre-existing project that you plan to work on. Once you've determined which version you would like to install, select Get. Once Python has completed the downloading and installation process, open Windows PowerShell using the Start menu lower left Windows icon.
Once PowerShell is open, enter Python --version to confirm that Python3 has installed on your machine. The Microsoft Store installation of Python includes pip , the standard package manager. Pip allows you to install and manage additional packages that are not part of the Python standard library. To confirm that you also have pip available to install and manage packages, enter pip --version. VS Code also contains a built-in terminal that enables you to open a Python command line with Windows Command prompt, PowerShell, or whatever you prefer, establishing a seamless workflow between your code editor and command line.
Once VS Code has been installed, you must also install the Python extension. Python is an interpreted language, and in order to run Python code, you must tell VS Code which interpreter to use. We recommend using the most recent version of Python unless you have a specific reason for choosing something different. You can also use the Select Python Environment option on the bottom Status Bar if available it may already show a selected interpreter.
The command presents a list of available interpreters that VS Code can find automatically, including virtual environments. If you don't see the desired interpreter, see Configuring Python environments. The default terminal is PowerShell. Try the Python interpreter out by entering: print "Hello World". Python will return your statement "Hello World". If you plan to collaborate with others on your Python code, or host your project on an open-source site like GitHub , VS Code supports version control with Git.
You first need to install Git to power the Source Control panel. Download and install Git for Windows from the git-scm website. An Install Wizard is included that will ask you a series of questions about settings for your Git installation. We recommend using all of the default settings, unless you have a specific reason for changing something. If you've never worked with Git before, GitHub Guides can help you get started. Python is an interpreted language.
In contrast to compiled languages, in which the code you write needs to be translated into machine code in order to be run by your computer's processor, Python code is passed straight to an interpreter and run directly. You just type in your code and run it.
Let's try it! With your PowerShell command line open, enter python to run the Python 3 interpreter. Some instructions prefer to use the command py or python3 , these should also work. There are several built-in methods that allow you to make modifications to strings in Python. Press Enter for a new line. Print your variable with: print variable. This will display the text "Hello World! That was over two years ago in the early adopter program for Windows 8, and now when I use Windows XP or Windows 7, I find it very inefficient to "have to click through so many menus" to find and do basic stuff.
First of all, some basic terminology and "old way" of finding things so that I can take you through Windows 8 in a way you have learned how to use Windows. This is the menu that Windows comes up with. If you are in the middle of an application browser, Word, or any other app and you want to get back to the menu, on a tablet, you press the "Home" button usually a physical button on the bottom middle of the tablet device or from a keyboard system, you press the "Windows-key.
On a keyboard system, the charm menu pops up when you move the move cursor all the way to the right bottom of the screen. I used to Pin stuff to the Taskbar, but now that more and more apps are coming out with Windows 8 menu icons like Office , SkyDrive, Box. These are helpful "things" we used occasionally in Win7 in the past that you now have shortcuts to run.
Another option off the Charm Menu when you move your mouse cursor to the bottom right, or swipe your thumb right to left off the right edge of a tablet is the Settings options the bottom-most option on the charm when you click on Settings…. Instead of moving your cursor to pop up the charm to then click on Search to then find your application, or instead of moving your cursor to pop up the charm to then click Settings to then go to the Control Panel…you would do one of two things.
All apps stay in memory; you just "toggle" between apps by simply pressing the Home button or pressing the Windows key to get to your apps. Note: On a keyboard system, you can still Alt-Tab between apps, so toggling between apps is really easy.
So what happens if you want to access an app that you did not pin to your menu? On a keyboard-based system, at the Windows 8 Menu, just start typing a few letters of the app or function you want to do, and the "search" starts working immediately. Assuming the app is highlighted on the left, just press the Enter key any time and it'll launch that app, no key clicking, nothing extra.
Fiddle with this, but effectively this is a very quick way to launch apps that may not be on your Windows 8 menu yet. Or even things like p-r-i-n-t-e-r will pop up under Settings the option for me to "Add a Printer," or n-e-t under search settings will show me options like "Connect to a Network. This was the trick to making Windows 8 easy to use. Now that you have the navigation thing figured out, go to the Windows Store and download "apps" for your most common things you do, so things like there are Box.
Note: When you are in the store looking for apps, as much as you can scroll through the "Popular" apps or "Top free" apps it shows you on screen, if you wanted to "search" for an app to download, it's not intuitive how to search for an app.
The way to search for an app is when you are in the Store, pull up the "charm" thing move mouse to the bottom right, or on a tablet, swipe your right thumb right to left to have the "charm" menu on the right side pop out and then use the "search" function in the charm.
So just as you "searched" your apps earlier in this blog to find stuff on your local computer, when you are in the Store app and do a search, it'll now search for apps in the Store ie: searching for Acrobat, or Box, or Alarm Clock, or USA Today or the like. When you install the app, it shows up on your Windows 8 Style menu.
Simply clicking the app launches the application. However, from your Windows 8 Style menu, you might want to move your most commonly used apps to the left side of your menu so they are visible to you more frequently when you pop up the Windows 8 menu.
On a touch tablet, you touch the app with your finger and then slide the app "down" and then to the left.
