Setting up Notepad ++ for Python

* I said in the audio that notepad++ works with windows and mac, but I recently found out it ONLY works on Windows

Steps for notepad++ w/ python
- Download python for windows (3.6.3)
- Copy File location
- Download Notepad++
- Plugins\Plugins admin
- Search "NppExec" and install plugin
- Restart Notepad ++
- Plugins\ NppExec \ Execute
- Save as "Run Python"
- Plugins \ NppExec \ Advanced options
- Check "place to the Macros submenu"
- Click associated script and choose "Run Python"
- Click add
- Restart Notepad++
- Macro \ Run with python

IDE's I recommend:
Pythonista
Notepad ++

This is called real explanation...not even a single unnecessary word, just straight to the point. More importantly her overall video set-up from background to screen presentations are just bang-on❤Please continue making more videos in this format.

5 hours of troubleshooting later and this video finally helped me solve it! In case anyone has this issue: NP++ wouldn't communicate with Python when I used the recommended download settings because the installer kept placing Python in the "roaming" folder. When I used manual installation and set it to the path specified in this video everything worked flawlessly. Thanks!!

OH MY GOD THANK YOU. I'm taking a programming class and have been sitting here for 3 hours trying to figure out why I can't just run my python code with NPP. BEST tutorial I've found so far.

If you hold shift and right click on a file it will add "copy as path" to the context menu. Great video btw! Straight to the point instructions and easy to understand.
