When you have installed Python, the question arises – how to start learning this language? Should I write commands through the console or do I need to install something else on the computer? There are many programming environments and solutions for Python, but for a beginner, it is preferable to choose from two:
- if you are learning Python for scientific purposes, then download Anaconda from www.continuum.io/downloads – this environment already includes Python, as well as such useful programs for programming and analytics as Spyder, Jupyter, IPython, R and others.
- you are learning Python for general development, then install the cool Sublime Text code editor from sublimetext.com; in this case, you will need to manually configure the Python interpreter to run the program written in this editor.
