Python Setup in Puppy

#1 Post by theoreo25 »

Hi Guys,
Im trying to set up Python properly. i have it installed but i cant figure out how to do basic things like save my programs. Im just fiddling around with programming and i have done this before a few years back on Ubuntu and had no problem figuring it out, but puppy is quite different. I remember having a python button of the sort that brought up the python work space and i can only launch python within the terminal emulator. may be my memory is a little fuzzy but any help regarding this would be nice since puppy is my main OS now.

thanks for the reply.
im sorry, i know this is such a newbie topic.
the problem might just be my terminal emulator. as you can see im missing the file buttons on top. i just remember there being a stand alone python window, but i may be mistaken.

ill try another terminal emulator in the meantime.

I didn't realize you were after an IDE. Ubuntus`standard is IDLE. More ideas here.

This one sounded *no frills* according to talk over on the Ubuntu forums.

I suppose the right one is settled upon through a little trial'n error.

Im pretty sure that what you're looking for is something called "idle", and not for an interactive "python" on the default system terminal.
Try this way in the terminal:

Code: Select all
