I just installed python 3.9.1(64bit) on my pc and trying to learn how to program.
idledev list is for developing future versions of IDLE, to be included with future releases of CPython. Beginner questions are better asked on python-list, where other beginners are more likely to see the answers.
However it looks like this isn't the same edition with the same capabilities as a professor's python program.
You have to ask the professor what version the professor uses.
The main difference is that I cannot find an editor so I can create programs and run them. I mean that there is a file option in the IDLE environment but when I open a new file from there I cannot run it. ie) the function ' print("...")' is followed by a syntax error without having understood why.
Since 'print('...')' works fine, you must have entered something else to get SyntaxError. When asking questions, always copy and paste the actual code entered.
Can you please send me a guidance and tell me whether my version is one capable of running programs in the shell?
Yes. I run the same.
(I do not have any licence for the full package of python but I thought it is an open source, can you confirm that?)
Yes, Python is open source. Depending on how you installed it, you should have the full package *and* the license. In interactive python started from a command line or in IDLE, after >>>, type 'license()'. You can stop after the PSF License v.2 part.
