Welcome! Thank you for learning Python. Please be aware that Python 2.7 is a dead end today. It will never get any new features, and only bug fixes will ever be made. Even that will stop in a few years. If you do not have a highly compelling reason to use that old version, you should not be writing any new code in Python 2. Instead, get the latest Python 3 for your computer and learn Python that way. > I am prepared to follow instructions or to pay someone to install > Python on my computer.

The Debian package manager will install Python 3 for you, just install the ‘python3’ package. > I am prepared to pay a company or person to reach my goal of > programming with Python. Good hunting, and feel free to ask questions as you learn.
