Subject: Problems Installing and getting started.
To: <python-list@python.org>
Good morning,
I installed python several hours ago (from python.org), I then installed
the IDE PyCharm. I'm using AI to help with a project that requires
statistical analysis.
I cannot open python, when I double clicked a "Modify Setup" window
appeared with the three options Modify, Repair and Uninstall to click. I
assumed this was part of the final installation process and clicked Modify
- it seemed to be successful. I still could not open python. I asked the AI
and it suggested to click Repair, this still made no difference. I finally
Uninstalled it, shut down my laptop, had a coffee then re-installed it but
the same problem occurred.
Can you help ? Any suggestions?
I'm really pleased with the AI so far and looking forward to using Python
to get my project started.
What do you mean by "open python"? You said that a "Modify Setup" window
appeared, which sounds like you're clicking on the *installer*.
To make it clear, the file that you download from python.org is the
installer. It installs Python only. It's not an IDE.
Having said that, the standard distribution from python.org does come
with IDLE.
You should be running PyCharm that you installed; that's the IDE. You
just need to ensure that it's using the version of Python that you've
installed.
