When coding in scripting languages generally they just run the code. The
IDE is separate. So you pick a decent editor that makes sense to you and
most of them will have a run option which will execute python underneath it.
So edit the stuff in any of the programmers editors, such as emacs (or evn
vi if you want to be mean to your kids) and they can then execute directly
from there.

Subject: [SLUG] python in linux mint
Hi all,
I'm trying to get my kids into programming... (I'm not a programmer by
the way)...
anyway Linux Mint has Python installed.
If I type python at the shell prompt I get a python >>>
However I'd like something that they can type the program in and another
window opens and displays their program running... or something like that.
(Yes I'm a complete noob at this.)
Is there such a beast or what is something that I can get the kids
started on... python-wise...?
Thanks,
Ben
