Accesing python - jola - 09-15-2015

Hello, I do not know how to make python accessible/active. I would like to place it into my main menu of programs, but how do I do this?
Sorry if this is not clear enough, I am new to Linux & appreciate any help & education.

Thanks, jola

Python is installed by default.  You can get to the python interpreter by just opening a terminal and typing in the word python.

Code:
man python

Code:
which python

Code:
locate python

You can also add it to your Main Menu

Right Click Menu Button then select Edit Application then click on Development and then Tick the version(s) you want.

I now have the problem of getting no response when i click on the python 3.4 interpreter icon, which is on the main menu under Development. I click on it & nothing happens. Any ideas.
Thank you, jola

Run it from command line and post errors.

When I figure out how, I will try that. thanks

Re: Accesing python - torreydale - 09-17-2015

That icon does nothing.  As I said, Python is installed by default and you access it via the terminal by typing in the word python.  To access Python version 3, you type in python3.
