• PYTHON

Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python's design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its notable use of significant whitespace. Its language constructs and object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects.

Step 1: Download the Python Installer binaries

  1. Open the Python website in your web browser. Navigate to the Downloads tab for Windows.
  2. Click the link for the latest version of Python 3.x. At the time of writing, the latest version is 3.6.1.
  3. Click on the link to download Windows x86 executable installer if you are using a 32-bit installer. In case your Windows installation is a 64-bit system, then download Windows x86-64 executable installer.



Step 2: Run the Python Installer

  1. Once the installer is downloaded, run the Python installer.
  2. Check the Install launcher for all users check box. Further, you may check the Add Python 3.10 to path check box to include the interpreter in the execution path

  • if you have python on your system it'll show like this

  • if you not have python on your system it'll show install now

Select Customize installation. Choose the optional features by checking the following check boxes:

    3.Documentation
    4.pip
    5.tcl/tk and IDLE (to install tkinter and IDLE)
    6.Python test suite (to install the standard library test suite of Python)
    7.Install the global launcher for `.py` files. This makes it easier to start Python
    8.Install for all users.


Click Next.9. This takes you to Advanced Options available while installing Python. Here, select the Install for all users and Add Python to environment variables check boxes. Optionally, you can select the Associate files with Python, Create shortcuts for installed applications and other advanced options. Make note of the python installation directory displayed in this step. You would need it for the next step. After selecting the Advanced options, click Install to start installation.



10. Once the installation is over, you will see a Python Setup Successful window.





Step 3: Verify Python Installation

You have now successfully installed Python 3.10.8 on Windows 10. You can verify if the Python installation is successful either through the command line or through the IDLE app that gets installed along with the installation. Search for the command prompt and type “python”. You can see that Python 3.10.8 is successfully installed.
