    Take a look at ActiveState’s ActivePython. It’s quite a nice implementation of Python on Windows. Another way is using Cygwin’s Python port. These two are Python implementations. I don’t use an IDE, I write my Python code in Notepad++.

    To run a python program after saving it to C:\Users\vaibhav\Code\myscript.py:

    1. ActivePython: If I remember right, ActiveState updates the path correctly. So it should be a s simple as:

      • Press “start” in the task bar
      • In the search field search for “cmd”
      • In the appearing box navigate to your folder with the python script: dir Users\vaibhav\Code
      • call python myscript.py and you’re done

    2. Cygwin: After installing Cygwin, you have a full-featured bash terminal on your Windows machine.

      • click on the Cygwin icon on your desktop
      • In the appearing window navigate to the folder with your python script: cd /cygdrive/c/Users/vaibhav/Code
      • type python myscript.py
      • e voila
