Then, fires up Sublime text 3, writes some code, and, [VERY important] saves the file somewhere by giving it the name ******.py.
After the file is saved, from the Tools menu in ST3, there's a Build option, or Ctrl+b via keyboard shortcut. It will build and run your Python code, the result is outputted in a lower panel.
That's pretty much it.

Courses Plus Student 26,868 PointsHi Tejas,
Please keep in mind that the Workspace we used in TeamTreehouse here isn't just a Text Editor, it's a text editor + a Terminal. On a Mac or Linux, with little bit of setup, we can easily replicate Workspace's feature by using any Text editor and the system's built-in Terminal. For Windows user however, there's no Terminal, it has its own CMD, which is an entirely different thing. But I read that there're some alternative solutions to that, http://www.howtogeek.com/249966/how-to-install-and-use-the-linux-bash-shell-on-windows-10/, I haven't tried it out.
Sublime Text is a standalone Text Editor, and there's limitation on what it can do. For example, ST can't accept user input during program execution, for Python or any other languages, and I don't believe there's a plug-ins or ST packages that allow you to bypass this limitation. If you're open-minded about what tools to use for writing Python code, try out some Python IDEs, they are very powerful and have pretty much all the features Python programmers could ever dream of.
