1. Download Python 2.7 from www.python.org/downloads/
2. Then install the application
3. Make sure the app installs at C:\Python27
---- To test:
a. open the command line (for windows machine:
use this command: windows+R,
in the dialog that popsup type 'cmd' and then enter )
b. on the command line type 'cd C:\Python27' ( this is called directory navigation )
c. after typing that then press enter, then u should then see C:\Python27. if you dont see C:\Python27 then it means you are not in the directory that we need to be right now and the next command we would type would not run
d. Everything being fine type 'python' and then press enter
e. then u should see something like this
Python 2.7.11 (v2.7.11:6d1b6a68f775, Dec 5 2015, 20:32:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

We gonna do some things to make run everywhere and anywhere u open the command prompt) This means that you are in the python shell where u can write python commands. You can write anything python into this console. So if you know any Python program you can test it out here
