Installing Python on your PC

In order to try out some basic examples to introduce yourself to Python, we recommend that you install Python on your PC. That way, you can try out some code before you switch to NWare and start using Python in a project.

Note:

• We recommend that you use Python 2.4, as this is the version supported by MediaMatrix. If you install a different version, the list of supported commands and syntax may be different.
• You do not need to install Python on your PC to use Python in an NWare project. However, it is useful for test purposes.

To install Python

1. Open a browser and download Python 2.4.

   Information on the release can be found here: https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4/.

2. Run the msi installer and follow the instructions to install Python 2.4.

   A Python 2.4 folder will be added to the Start menu.
