I know this can be very simple and straightforward for most people, but hey, when i was beginning to program in Python, I did not know how to get the Python Idle running.

Hence l cover that quickly here.

It is assumed you have already downloaded and installed Python on your windows PC

1. You can simple search for “idle” in the windows search box in the bottom left hand corner of your task bar

the idle shell will pop in your search results and you simply click on it and the idle will come up.

2. Go to command prompt, by typing “cmd” in the same bottom left hand corner box and the command prompt will come up.

Then just type “idle” and press enter and the idle will pop up running

Now your Python shell will start running.

You can open a New File by clicking on File>New File and start writing your code.

Hope this simple post was useful for someone
