NO BROS Python is an interpreted, object-oriented programming language similar to PERL, that has gained popularity because of its clear syntax and readability AND IS VERY EASY TO LEARN.

You no serious walai

@op, did you forget to add the preference for the compiler to understand what you coding. I used to think there used to be #!usr/bin/python

nope you are wrong bro, this is a simple program you dont need all those u are talking abt,
how good are you with python
#usr/bin/python is the environment where python is installed,
you only need to specify meta charset="utf-8" which is the encoding if you are using a non ascii format

I do think you this is complicated for beginner.
Why don't you post every step on the thread?
Following though.

Why then is it written like this

http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/09/python-hello-world-example-how-to-write-and-execute-python-program-on-unix-os/

okay sorry guys, didn't realise i was not detailed enough...
i will upload a detailed tutorial thanks guys

and the tutorial written there is for unix system, my tutorial is for windows..
unix os is a bit advance

OKAY GUYS THIS IS A WELL DETAILED VERSION

1] Go to http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ with your browser, get the Notepad++ text editor, and install it. You do not need to be the administrator to do this.

Make sure you can get to Notepad++ easily by putting it on your desktop and/or in Quick Launch. Both options are available during setup.

2] Download And IInstall python from http://python.org/download.

3] MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL PYTHON 2, NOT PYTHON 3.[/b]

4] Run your PowerShell program (which I will call Terminal later). It won't look like much.[/b]

5] If you don't have PowerShell Run your command prompt

6] If after you install it python still isn't recognized then in PowerShell enter this:

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

Close PowerShell

7] Run your Powershell, type python
Type quit() and press Enter to exit python.
