Programming Languages

Programs are found in many places such as on your computer, your cell phone, or on the internet. A program is a set of instructions that are run or executed. There are many programming languages and, for this course, we will use the Python programming language.

Python

To run Python programs, download Python 3. That download also includes a program named IDLE:

1.     Visit http://python.org/download/releases/3.2.3/ to download Python 3.2.3

2.     Depending on your operating system, following the next steps:

o        Linux: use your package installer to download Python 3

o        Windows: download Windows x86 Installer (3.2.3) (sig)

o        Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7: download Mac OS X 64-bit/32-bit Installer (3.2.3)

o        Mac OS X 10.3 through 10.6: download Mac OS X 32-bit i386/PPC Installer (3.2.3)

Note: if you are a Mac user, you may also need to download Tcl/Tk. Visit here to download ActiveTcl.

Once you have downloaded Python, you can find IDLE in your Python folder.
