For those having the "The term 'python' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
operable program." problem:


1. Reopen the python 3.7.4 executable (used in installation)
2. Click "Modify", click "Next", and click the box next to "Add Python to environment variables" so that it is checked.
3. Click "install".
4. Close out of Visual Studio Code and restart it.


Worked for me.

1:15 Creating a file and a folder.
1:45 Color is a good sign on Visual Studio Code.
2:45 input and print.
3:15 Different lines or same line (\n): new line.
4:45 Multiple modules and functions.
4:58 Print statements to find errors: zero division error.

Another tip: Ctrl + L also clears the terminal window

[JeeJeez]

had to type "py" instead of "python" to run the code. Why the inconsistency?

[IloveQuran]

I got the exact same result and now I am Python master probably better than the one teaching right now.

[davidsolomons]

The video is incorrect, you need to type py to run the python code.

[seeno]

am getting this error when I type : py hello.py


can't open file [Errno 2] No
such file or directory

help?

[sam_d]

It's really fun to learn Python. Thanks to Christopher and Susan...

[laughmeout]

You guys ought to show how to setup VS code. What's the whole essence of this course when I can't even set up the output panel? I use Anaconda jupyter but would like to follow this course with VS code

[robsonnevesribeiro]

You need to save each new string or what you are displaying up and then will be able to work!

[jamesbishop]

After a new install of visual studio code program the output view is not up by default. You can show or open it by selecting the View menu and then output from the menu.

It's probably already been said, but using charmPy for your editor would be easier. CharmPy is build specifically for Python and you can run the code directly from the editor to the terminal without retyping the file name, with one click of a button.

I love this tutor, thank you so much for these videos! I am a total novice and just love your explanations!

[rupertogrospejr]

I wasn't able to run the code because I relied on the video. Maybe the way it run the code now was changed. You have to type "py" instead of "python" to run the code. I wasted my 3 hours of my life to run that simple code :) :)

How do I get the terminal window to begin with? @1:45 - It seems to just suddenly appear, and I don't even have that section of the window showing !?!? The answer is View menu - Appearance - Show Panel to get that part of the window to show up. Then the terminal just opens.

On macOS I had to close out the terminal then I ran the code again. And when I typed in my name it ran properly. Also on macOS you have to use clear not cls these videos should have at the least pop ups explaining the different commands between popular OS.

[KidsLearnHTML]

I know the video means well, but it just tosses out words like variable and string without telling the viewer what they are. I understand, because I've been exposed to some Python beforehand, but a total beginner?

[Crockerfeller]

I really rrlly wish you guys were using dark mode with VS Code. so much easier on the eyes. It's the default too, so why change it for the video?

[jevforsberg]

Anyone getting this error:


`Traceback (most recent call last):
File "helloWorld.py", line 1, in <module>
name = input("What is your name? ")
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'jev' is not defined`


You might have 2 versions of Python on your machine (both 3 AND 2). Instead of running script `python helloWorld.py`, run `python3 helloWorld.py`.


Worked for me.

hello everyone, can someone tell me where she pressed to run the script ?
