Python Tutorials For Beginners - Python Interactive Shell vs Python IDLE _ The Difference
Get the difference between the python interactive shell and the python editor(also known as THE IDLE).
The interactive shell does not allow editing once it receives an input/command.
The interactive shell has the black background like the "command prompt does". Its mostly useful for pre-testing few lines of code.(probably to test if the syntax is correct .i.e if the lines of code has no errors).
The Python Editor(IDLE) works more like the default windows notepad.
it is useful for writing more lines of code as it gives the room for re-editing parts of the code written, saving it for future use and also its colour scheme of highlighting various parts of the code make it simple to tell different parts of the code and its purpose.
Its advisable to use the python editor(IDLE) for writing your program. Other integrated development environments (IDE's ) such as Pycharm and Emacs are available aside the default python interactive shell and IDLE but please stick with IDLE to get a hang of the basics before switching up to any other editor.
