My intent was not to criticize you, but to help you have the best chance of getting help and to briefly share my struggles to settle on a coding editor. There is nothing to be sorry about! You certainly caused me no inconvenience!! Just because an editor you might use has plenty of customization options and be overly packed with features does not usually mean you need to concern yourself with them, especially starting out. As long as you can create a text file easily and save it where you want to save it, you can use it. You can always run your program from the terminal and many think that is a good idea to do anyway. Sometimes when you run a program from within the editor/IDE it can hide some issues from you. Most editors/IDEs come preset out of the box, so to speak, to be able to do sensible syntax highlighting, etc., so you can worry about fine tuning these things later when you have time and inclination. As for forgetting things, I am a past master at this! But I keep chugging along and people here are quite patient with me. But it pays to try to focus on the details of what you are doing programming-wise as the whole process can and does crash for want of an overlooked detail. Or, in my case, many overlooked details! Keep trying and always try to give the best, most helpful description of problems you are experiencing, what you expected to happen and what actually did happen, so that you have the best chance of getting useful help. Take care! boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
