creating the application it' time to create your first python application your initial python shell window won' work for creating an applicationso you can begin by creating new edit window for the application you'll type the required commands and then save the file to disk opening new window the initial python shell window is just fine for experimentationbut you need niceclean edit window for typing your first application the python shell window is interactivewhich means that it gives you immediate feedback for any commands you type the edit window provides static environmentwhere you type commandssave themand then run them after you type enough commands to create an application the two windows serve distinctly different purposes choose filenew file to create new window new window like the one shown in figure - opens notice that the title bar says python untitled instead of python shell python shell window will always have the word "shellin the title bar the two windows also have some unique toolbar entries for examplean edit window includes the run commandwhich you use later to test your application figure - use the edit window to create applications working with the edit window is just like working with any other text editor you have access to basic editing commands such as copycutand paste pressing enter moves to the next line rather than executing command as it would when working in the python shell window that' because the edit window is static environment -one where you type commands and save them for later reuse
