umaryusuf:

Is like you left out an important step here (of adding python PATH to system's environment variables), especially that u are using powershell to run py. It may not work on many Windows PC, which could frustrate extreme noobs...

Djangocode: For Users tryna set Environment variables inorder to use powershell, Do the following:

Go to Control Panel –> System Properties –> Environment Variables and select the PATH variable -> Click Edit -> Add the following line at the end of the line C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts
This will create a folder called scripts where your python files will live in..

Or Run the Following command inside Powershell:

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "$env:Path;C:\Python27\;C:\Python27\Scripts\", "User"


Either of the two will work but its more easier using the 1st method..

Capnd143: Ok am in. But the problem is i will be using my phone.

vinoz: I am in, quess an right in time to learn python. Thanks folks for this opportunity

DharkPoet:
It aint that much bro!!

Capnd143: by much you mean? Size? Price?

# A comment, this is so you can read your program later.
# Anything after the # is ignored by python.

print "I could have code like this." # and the comment after is ignored

# You can also use a comment to "disable" or comment out a piece of code:
# print "This won't run."

print "This will run."

DharkPoet: So down to installation:

print "I will now count my chickens:"

print "How about some more."

print "Is it greater?", 5 > -2
print "Is it greater or equal?", 5 >= -2
print "Is it less or equal?", 5 <= -2

I will now count my chickens:
Hens 30
Roosters 97
Now I will count the eggs:
7
Is it true that 3 + 2 < 5 - 7?
False
What is 3 + 2? 5
What is 5 - 7? -2
Oh, that's why it's False.
How about some more.
Is it greater? True
Is it greater or equal? True
Is it less or equal? False

3 % 2 = 1
7 % 5 = 2
8 % 3 = 2

cars = 100

There are 100 cars available.
There are only 30 drivers available.
There will be 70 empty cars today.
We can transport 120.0 people today.
We have 90 to carpool today.
We need to put about 3 in each car.
