Python IDLE

Testing IDLE on my Mac.

Hello, I've just installed Python 3.14.7 on my macOS. When I open the IDLE on my Mac I typed python3 , hit enter, and it said:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module> python3 NameError: name 'python3' is not defined

Is this test only relevant to the Treehouse workspace? I was watching the How to Install Python (macOS) with Rachel Johnson.
