It's about python programming language?

Question

i'm only a begginer so i was looking at "how to get started" list on the web from python website so the first thing i did is downoloaded PythonWin and typed ...print 'Hello World'...later i went to save the document and saved as ...helloworld.py... and under All Documents because that is the only option and clicked RUN but the document i saved isn't anywere on the computer! i have enouh Hard drive space so i dont know what to da help please!

Answer 1

What I typically do is not keep my programming work under "My Documents" or "All Documents". It's good practice to keep programs under filepaths with no spaces. Examples:

Bad: "C:/My Documents/My Work" : Space between My and Documents.
Good "C:/mywork" : No spaces.

I have a workspace folder with all the projects in it.

Also, try getting yourself a decent editor or IDE. For a plain text editor, I use Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm) or vim. There's a few other tools for Python editing like SPE, but start with an editor for now.

Answer 2

If you have the latest Python I think you can RUN the script right of the IDE without searching for the folder location. But make sure each time your build an applicatio or script that you note where the file has been saved.

I advise you to learn Python on a Windows environement then move to linux.

Answer 3

Run a search for the document you lost. It probably saved it into the C:\documents and settings\
folder somewhere.

Make sure to include finding hidden and system files along with "look in subdirectories" in your search!

Answer 4

in case you have the desire to make video games C++ is the main nicely-known language, yet C#, Java, and Python are extra handy to understand. in case you attempt to initiate with C++ you have got an quite complicated time.

Answer 5

Do a search for "helloworld" on all your hdds, and be sure to open all .py files from the Python IDLE.
