There are multiple ways of interacting with Python, and each can be useful for different scenarios. You can quickly explore functionality in Python’s interactive mode using the built-in Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL), or you can write larger applications to a script file using an editor or Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
In this video course, you’ll learn how to:
- Use Python interactively by typing code directly into the interpreter
- Execute code contained in a script file from the command line
- Work within a Python Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
- Assess additional options, such as Thonny and Python’s IDLE
