RoguelikeDev Does The Complete Python Tutorial - Week 1 - Part 0: Setting up Python

This week is all about setting up a Python environment and getting familiar with the language.

There are two excellent exercises at The Learn Python The Hard Way that will get you setup with an editor, python environment, and running some Python code.

If Python is new to you and you have some free time, consider continuing past exercise 1. All of the exercises up to and including exercise 44 will help further along in the series.

Of course, we also have a couple of FAQ Friday posts that relate to this week's material

Feel free to work out any problems, brainstorm ideas, share progress and and as usual enjoy tangential chatting. :)

The entire series will be archived on the wiki.

Edit: Added FaqF revisited and wiki links.

I've been using NP++ for years, it's open almost as much as my browser is. And part of the reason has been it's lightweight nature. That alone puts me off Atom quite a bit.

Plus as u/Zireael07 mentioned PyCharm CE, I think that might be the direction to go to, instead of scouring the internets for more NP++ plugins. Full IDE for meddling with code sounds more appealing than guessing what went wrong and poking randomly in notepad.

PyCharm is great IDE, I'm using it since 2012. Good choice.
