The official Python documentation has some information on that: < http://docs.python.org/py3k/using/windows.html > Does that help you?

what kind of program is it?

can you at least open Python interpreter (command window) and type

print "hello world"

Hi! I installed also Python and was working fine, you should go

to http://www.python.org/download/ and install windows installer

then compile your programm with whatever text editor and work fine

for me.

Hi Alex.Whatever you had written i followed that one and it's working fine.But if i will write a program of 50 or 100 line then how to run that one.Is it essential to set the path.

Hi Salman, you need to run the program in the folder where is installed Python, or

just run the programme with the Python editor. I hope is ok now. Cheers :)

If you are using Python to produce data, I would suggest that you consider the Cygwin environment. It sets up a fake UNIX environment on your PC with a decent bash shell and lets you use I/O redirection to access your input files and save your results in an output file. Python,Python3, Ruby, Perl and Lua all run under Cygwin.

I totally agree. I've been running Cygwin for around 15 years now. It is mature, stable and it's a great help for tasks where you need both the Windows and the Unix world.

Cygwin also comes with vi/vim :-)

if you are using the IDLe then u don't need to run the program

When u press enter after coding it will automatically give you the result....incase there is no error..and if you are using any scripter then there will also be an option available to run it ..The scripter may include Pyscripter or anyone else

I recomend you to read an official Python FAQ:
