If you don't already have Python on your computer, you can download it for free. Here's how it works for a computer running

Windows? Vista or newer.

This sheet is a free download to accompany Coding For Beginners Using Python, published

by Usborne, ? 2017.

1. First, check if your computer already has

Python. Go to the `Start' menu and click on `All Programs'. If you see a program with the word Python or IDLE in it, or anything with the Python icon ( ) then you have Python installed. Check that the version number begins with a 3, as earlier versions of Python won't run all the code in this book.

2. If you don't have it already,

or if you have the wrong version, Python is available as a free download from the Python Software Foundation. For a link, go to Usborne Quicklinks: w w w.u s b o r n e .c o m /q u i c k l i n k s and type in `Python'. Then click on `Download Python from the official website'.

3. Python comes in different versions,

shown by different numbers after the name. This book uses version 3, so any version number beginning with a 3 will work. We recommend you download the latest version.
