So I dl python 3.4 but what I see is different to what Kevin Love is presenting. Am I missing something?

my python folder only has IDLE and Python launcher and neither one looks like what our teacher has.

Can someone shed some light here?

All of our code is written in Workspaces (there should be a big green button next to the video to launch the Workspace for the current video), not in a computer application.

So you used the official installer from Python website? No, you don't need to worry about what's in your Python folder.

Just open the Terminal app in Applications/Utilities/Terminal, and type python3, this will give you the python3 interactive console.

Thank you so much! I am going to get back to this when I stop using the workspace.
