Talk:Non-Programmer's Tutorial for Python 2.6/Intro

The words "type in code" in first paragraph presumes we know where to type the code into. Into a web browser? A terminal window?
 * In IDLE after going to new file, as described later on in the page. Jrincayc 14:37, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

I know that some python programmers probably wrote this but this line clearly is wrong. "for example, that programming is often referred to as hacking"
 * Hm. I would consider writing code in python hacking.  I do realize that this definition is different from the typical definition of hacking that is used in the media. Jrincayc (talk) 15:30, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

In the part of this article where it tells you how to install python onto Windows computers it says "To check if you already have it installed, open command prompt (cmd in run menu) or MS-DOS and type python. If it says "Bad command or file name" you will need to download the appropriate Windows installer" I have Python 2.6, not the newly released 2.6.6, and I opened cmd and typed in "python" and it said "'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file". This leads me to believe that this section of this article is wrong. If it's not actually wrong I wouldn't be surprised though, cause my computer isn't the sharpest tool in the shed


 * Hm. That could also mean that it isn't in the path.  Yes, the text needs fixing.  Jrincayc (talk) 02:44, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
