Installing Python on a Windows PC

2020-11-21T19:50:45Z

I want to start learning Python, but all the different options are making it very difficult to know which is the right one for me. Then there are these warnings about where you install it.

What does x86 mean? Some recommendations are to use the Windows launcher--what is that? What is PEP ? Where should I install Python on my hard drive?

Seriously, there are more flavors of Python than there are of Coke.

Does anyone have advice on this?

Kes: I'm trying to find accessible events and activities for screen reader users: there is a "Screen reader" checkbox, but I'm not seeing any results for it.
We need to crip the code so we can stage our own hackathons, because wouldn't it be awesome if we could all be able to hack our own prosthetics, like Hugh Herr?

How to plan your Hour of Code
Join the movement and introduce your students to computer science with these steps.
Computational thinking helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic, and creativity. And technology is transforming every industry on the planet. Students today should learn how to create technology, not just use it. By starting early, they’ll have a foundation for success in any 21st-century career path.

Trying an Hour of Code is a simple and fun way to introduce students to computer science, perhaps for the very first time, and it fits perfectly for both in-class and after-school settings. Take a look at our
