How do you access the default idle that comes with Python?
To enter Python’s built-in IDLE (Integrated Development and Learning Environment), follow these steps:
- Open the Python installation directory, which is typically located at C:\PythonXX (XX representing the version number, for example Python 3.9 would be C:\Python39).
- Locate and double-click on the application called “IDLE” or “IDLE (Python GUI)” in the installation directory to launch the IDLE interface.
Note: In some cases, IDLE may appear as “Python IDLE”.
Alternatively, you can search for “IDLE” or “Python IDLE” in the start menu and click on the “IDLE” or “Python IDLE” shortcut to open IDLE.
Once you have successfully entered IDLE, you can begin writing and executing Python code.
