Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

You're trying to do python on the zsh command prompt

#

how can i not do it on the zsh command prompt? i'm sorry i'm super new to this

#

There are two windows there. The top one is for typing code and the bottom one is for interacting with your system. you can type python script.py to run your code from there

#

There's probably a VS Code button to do it as well.

lean forge
#

there is, assuming you have the python extension installed

#

@worn hawk Try pressing that play button in the upper right corner

#

i have it installed

the print("hello world") is working

#

but when i try to run 1+2 on the terminal, it says zsh command not found

tall bloom
#

because you're in zsh there, not Python

#

From that console window you can navigate around your filesystem. If you wanted to open a Python interpreter there you could by just typing python and hitting enter.

#

You'd need to exit out of the Python interpreter before doing anything outside of Python if you did that.

#

oh is the select interpreter thingy? i already did that but it didn't change anything, but if i type python3 on the terminal and run 1+2, it works, is it a valid fix to that

lean forge
#

python has an interactive mode called the REPL where you can evaluate python code in the terminal

#

typing python or python3 on its own enters the REPL

#

that's why it's working

#

there's nothing to "fix" really

worn hawk
#

ooooh okioki

#

but how can i run 1+2 without typing python3

#

is that possible

lean forge
#

do you want to run it from a file, or in the REPL?

worn hawk
#

i don't get what that means i'm sorry T_T, but i want to type 1+2 on the terminal like in the tutorial (needed in class) and get 3, whatever that's called

#

should there be a python choice here?

lean forge
#

in that case you would need to enter the repl by typing python

lean forge
#

they're for interacting with your operating system

#

oh okioki tyyyy
