How are you running Python? Are you sure you're not running the installer again? Remember that Python is a command-line interpreter, and as such it should be invoked from a command prompt, which will drop you into the read-eval-print-loop interface (control-Z or Control-D to exit depending on operating system). Alternatively .py files can be associated with the python launcher to let them run with a double click from the Windows explorer. But Python itself really doesn't have much of a user interface. Normally you create programs in a text editor that are then run with the python interpreter. If you are looking for some sort of IDE, you might look into IDLE, which may have installed with Python. IDLE is an editor that also lets you run and debug python programs with within it. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
