---- Why not idle? And if in general you are at python 3, why 2.7 here? There are enough factor to learn ( and get confused)! Please don't add new ones gratuitously! ------- I am taking two courses in Python 2 so I think I am going to forget using Python 3 until I finish the courses. One of the course instructors suggests we try the command like way. Your other explanations on the distinctions are helpful, but for now I am going with Python 2. Final answer. :) (A few more weeks) They are teaching Python 2. I have to use Python 2 to learn it. Thanks I am going to be flexible on IDLE in the near future, but I wanted to try it the old fashion way. I already know using IDLE is better, but I am not sure using IDLE will invoke Python 2 and I am not sure how to change that at the moment. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
