Powershell has a funky way of looking up programs, with the result that you have to type the full name for many. python.exe - should work, probably. maybe. Using the Python Launcher helps: it works without extra games py If you install the Python from the Microsoft Store it will work more "predicatably" - python, and python3, will work from both a cmd and a powershell commandline. on the other hand, you will have no Python Launcher on such a setup. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Having trouble importing the python turtle on idle

The 3.8 python.org macOS installer comes with a recent version of tcl/tk (8.6.8) compiled to work with the 3.8 that it installs. Another tcl/tk binary may not work. First, when running IDLE, select on the menu IDLE and About IDLE. What is the tk version? It should be 8.6.8. Second, start Terminal and enter ... $ python3.8 -m turtle This should start a turtle demo that draws and erases two patterns. which is importing the python turtle on to my screen. However I have troubleshooted every possible way to get this right even What is wrong? uninstalling and reinstalling Python several times. Can you please advise me on how to import the python turtle.

Oh, My apology ! I should have mentioned the system stats in mail. Windows 7 , 64 bit Intel Core 2 duo C drive free space : 23 GB Initially, during installation system is asking for service pack 1 I did that. Later, it's asking for core.msi, dev.msi etc. Because system is not able to fetch from the web. The log file contains all these errors.

The log file contains all these errors. 1. Why are you installing 3.5.0? Don't do that. If you *must* install 3.5, which is unlikely (but you haven't explained why), at least make sure to install the latest bugfix version of 3.5, which is 3.5.4 (that's the last with an installer provided). Better is to install 3.7 or 3.8, which are in active support. 2. The installer needs to talk to the Internet in some circumstances. If you have a machine without Internet access, use a different machine and follow the instructions here: https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#installing-without-downloading and then transfer the files to your target machine and install from that. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I find the inconsistencies when it comes to "running Python" in a terminal in different operating systems or environments very frustrating. When teaching a class of 200 students who are new to programming it is really important that you can give a simple instruction that works. I'm yet to find that simple instruction for the basic task of starting a Python interpreter. I hope that one day we can get to a situation where once Python is installed it can be run by typing "python" in whatever terminal you want. -- Oscar -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

At last, someone who understands the problem when it is bigger than one person! To be fair, the issue is caused by the likes of Microsoft and Apple deciding that they have 'the one true way'. However, wishing ain't going to make the problem go-away! This question (and its predecessor: "how do I install") is asked so frequently it is obviously a major bug-bear. Yet, it is something I (and most others with Python experience) do from 'muscle-memory' and without thinking... In the spirit of F/LOSS, if the previously-mentioned web-ref is not sufficient, and you are able to outline simple instructions to start a DOS-box (or whatever they call it these days) and the equivalent on Apple (as relevant to your environment), that's probably the best we can do at the applications level - and we should use that to update/improve the docs... -- Regards =dn -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
