Python on WinXP: 7 Minutes To "Hello World!"

I started a long email to a friend about how to get up and running on
Python, then I thought, why not make something I can post?

It's NOT a tutorial. Just a specific, narrow, quick installation guide
for Windows XP users.

Would love comments, but probably can't incorporate them until Monday,
because I have a long drive ahead of me.

Thanks for any help.

Here's the sample code that launches my program: os.spawnv(os.P_NOWAIT,'/usr/bin/python',('python...

I just discovered Python and looked briefly at one of the tutorials for beginners... It looks a lot like the old Command line Basic... I'm sure it does much more but... 1 - Can you create windows, buttons, user input fields, etc as you can with Visual Basic? 2 - Can you call Windows Procedures or what ever they call them

I apologize in advance for launching this post but I might get enlightment somehow (PS: I am _very_ agnostic ;-). - 1) I do not consider my intelligence/education above average - 2) I am very pragmatic - 3) I usually move forward when I get the gut feeling I am correct - 4) Most likely because of 1), I usually do not manage to fully explain 3) when it comes true. - 5) I have developed for many years (>18) in many different environments,...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
