Python IDE/Editor

  • Download and install Python. Windows Mac OS X Others
    • this includes an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) called IDLE, which will allow you to easily write and execute programs
  • Get comfortable using some editor (preferably IDLE)
    • IDEs contain a good editor for you to write Python code
    • Editors like Microsoft Word are not good for this
    • Get started with IDLE: One Day of IDLE Toying
      • For Mac OS X or Linux, start IDLE by opening a Terminal window and typing 'idle'. If this doesn't work, there is something wrong with your installation.

System-specific notes

  • Windows
    • Python works better if installed in the default directory.
  • Mac OS X
    • Python should already be installed on your system, but it is a very old version.
  • Linux
    • Python may already be installed on your system. If not, it's best to use existing RPMs or apt-get for installation.

COGS8 Ground Rules

  • Required reading means: you're responsible for it!
    • If you have a PC available to you, I recommend caching (saving locally) this file, so you can read it offline.
    • Else, you should print this out.
  • Assignments should be emailed to ?? from your official UCSD email address and with the Subject = assignment# (eg, IH#1)
