Installing Python

In this section, we’ll take a look at how to install the python interpreter and development environment.

Python has multiple versions available, such as Python 2.x and Python 3.x. It is recommended to install the latest stable version, which is Python 3.x. Python 2.x is no longer actively supported, and most new projects and libraries are designed for Python 3.x.

You can install python on Windows, Mac, or linux.
