Hi,

When I save a file in notepad or wordpad as "hello.py", it end up saving it as "hello.py.txt"

Is there a way to get around this?

Thanks. JP
 
Before you save the file write in the field "File name" the name of your file with the *.py Extension e.g. name.py
Then choose in the Combobox "Save as type" the entry "All files" and press the save button.
Your file has been saved as name.py!
 
>how do you use it?

1) install Python
2) create a program, saved it in a .py file
3) run it ! (type: python myprogram.py)

Sample program:
print "Hello, world !"


If you are under Windows, you just have to download Python from (Direct link to download:

You will find lots of information, tutorials, examples, books and links here:
